The Audi R8 might not get all the fan love that the Lamborghini Huracán gets, the fact that both share a lot of components together, delivering similar performance levels, still remain. One could might even say that the R8 is the more understated brother of the much more exotic looking Huracán. And for the most part, they would be right. On the other hand, the Audi R8 is still one of the most beautiful two-door coupes ever to be revealed in the last several decades, bringing modern tech and exhilarating performance in a vehicle that can server as a daily driver and hit the track equally well.
The car features sleek lines, aggressive styling, wide wheel arches and an impressive V10 engine. Located in the middle of the car, the engine produces impressive horsepower levels and delivers earth-shattering roars, thanks to a naturally aspirated configuration of this powerplant. A true high-performance machine, in every possible way.
The second-generation Audi R8 V10 comes with a 5.2 liter FSI engine, delivering 533 horsepower and 398lb-ft (540Nm) of torque. Thanks to a 7-Speed S-Tronic transmission (coming as standard) and the famed Quattro all-wheel-drive system, the vehicle can launch off the line with impressive speed. For the R8 V10, the 0-62mph (0-100km/h) takes just 3.6 seconds, a rather impressive feat for a vehicle weighing in at 3,616lbs (1,640kg). Overall, the Quattro all-wheel-drive system used on the R8 is slightly rear-biased with power delivery to the wheels variable. A water-cooled front differential and a passive limited-slip rear differential along with an electromechanical power steering contribute to the agile handling of the car. The variable magnetic-ride suspension is available as an option but is exclusive to the European markets.
This Mythos Black Audi R8 V10 is updated thanks to a set of ADV5.2 M.V2 CS Series two-piece concave forged wheels, giving this German high-performance machine a great aftermarket upgrade. For this build, the wheels are machined in sizes of 20×9 in the front and 21×12.5 in the rear. The wheels feature a Brushed Aluminum finish, accentuating those large orange carbon ceramic brake calipers perfectly. The final touch for these wheels is the 50/50 Exposed Titanium Hardware option.
These wheels can be ordered through a wide network of authorized ADV.1 dealers worldwide. For more information about fitments, sizes, finishes or similar, please don’t hesitate to contact us right away. In the meantime, feast your eyes on this Mythos Black Audi R8 V10 build right below.
