Audi R8 Spyder V10 available at Jim Autos UK - United Kingdom's top new used Audi dealer of Audi R8

The Audi R8 is a mid-engine sports car which uses Audi's trademark quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. R8 is based on the Lamborghini Gallardo platform. The fundamental construction of the R8 is based on the Audi Space Frame and uses an aluminium monocoque which is built around space frame principles.

To produce the R8 at quattro GmbH, seventy workers fit 5,000 unique parts by hand. The factory at Neckarsulm, redeveloped at a cost of €28 million, usually produces between eight and fifteen cars a day, up to a maximum daily output of 29 cars. Ninety-five lasers inspect the entire car in five seconds to ensure that over 220 measurements are within 0.1 millimetres of the programmed plans. The two-seat coupé is currently available at Jim Autos UK. The R8 Spyder, an open-top roadster model, followed in 2009. In Latin America, the R8 became available at the end of 2008 at dealers in Mexico City, Bogota, Medellin, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Lima, Santiago and Santo Domingo. Customers bought every unit available for 2008 within a week after the R8 premiered at the Bogota International Auto Show and Auto Expo of Medellin.

Audi has always enjoyed an enviable track record in the world of motorsport.

With the introduction of the revolutionary quattro® all-wheel-drive technology in the early 1980s came a run of victories that will never be forgotten. And thanks to a continuing dedication to innovation and progression, that success has continued right through to the present day.
