Since its inception, the Audi R8 has been a standout in the lineup of New Audi vehicles. The R8 is a supercar that can be used in day to day life. It was one of the first vehicles to begin using a double-clutch gearbox, which is now the industry standard for performance cars. It seems that now the R8 is due for a refresh and we are expecting great things here at Braman Audi.
While we are sure there will be a few changes made to the design, the rumor mill tells us that most of the tweaks will be with the underpinnings. Firstly, the old gearbox is being ditched in favor of a new dual-clutch S-tronic seven-speed transmission. The R8 can produce an astounding 542 horsepower thanks to a V10 engine under the hood. This kind of power means a zero-to-sixty sprint time of 3.5 seconds when using the automatic transmission. The car tops out a 197 mph which is plenty fast for driving through Boca Raton.
