From a fine pedigree

The R8 is centered upon the Lamborghini Huracan platform.The construction is based on the Audi Space Frame, using lightweight aluminum space frame principles. For an awesome car to drive the track there’s no need to look beyond the Audi R8. This two-seater, mid-engine supercar shares many characteristics with the Lamborghini Huracan at a much lower cost.

Right at home on a track

The R8 was given a go at the historic Daytona International Speedway. After a very hot lap around the course, the R8 lived up to its rep. In 2017 the R8 placed 7th out of 12 cars in the 2016 Best Drivers Competition. But more impressively it finished 1st in the World’s Greatest Drag Race.  This car proved itself to be more than just a hyped up sports car, with a sultry silhouette. The R8 is rooted in the GT3 racing tradition and you can feel it as soon as you start the engine.
