Audi R8 V10: Supplies are Scarce for this Hugely Anticipated Model
The Audi R8 V10 was introduced last week on 8th December, 2008. It has an eight-month waiting list in the car’s home market of Germany.
The version of Audi includes 5.2 litre V10 engine that produces 528 hp of power and has a 390 lb-ft torque much below that of Lamborghini Gallardo. The R8 V10 can rocket from 0-62 in 3.9 seconds and has a top speed of 196 mph. Officials mentioned that even though the R8 V10 sports extra two cylinders ,it will largely resemble the “base” model.
The ten cylinder engine will receive more air through the larger scoops in the body design which goes well with its increased power. Bang and Olufsen system is installed inside which cost a fortune. The leather finish inside this giant is made of Nappa Leather.
The demand for this vehicle in its home market of Germany is so high that there is an eight month waiting period. In the US market, where 50 units are likely to be sold, the supply is scarce for the interested buyers. With the diesel version soon to be launched the demand will skyrocket upwards. Audi is undeterred by the demand claims that it can’t produce more than 27 R8’s a day and no more. This is likely to keep the car dearer to the owners and those who are likely to purchase it.
The car will first hit the market in Germany with a price of about £120,000.
So let’s go ZOOOOMMMM!!
