The Audi R8 turns 19 this year

In 2005 the Audi R8 was born, designed after the award-winning concept car "Audi Le Mans Quattro." In 2006, production started on the 4.2 Liter V8 version of the Audi R8, which was developed and assembled by the company now known as Audi Sport GmbH (since 2016).

The exterior design took inspiration from the Le Mans Quattro, creating the smooth Audi R8 look we know and love today. Since 2006, the design has changed somewhat in the Audi R8, but R8 performance remains exceptional and has even upgraded from a V8 engine to a V-10 engine starting with the Audi R8 Quattro.
