Introducing the Audi R8 and its Cousins the V10 and V12
As time progresses, look to LLTeK for a broad range of product for Audi’s R8 line. We are starting this section with a suite of carbon fibre bodykit parts for the original Audi R8. Many owners of the R8 in North America have expressed frustration with the dealerships’ inability to source side blades in Carbon Fibre. LLTeK has these parts for the Audi R8 and will contine to add options for owners as time goes by - plus, we intend to keep pace with the R8 line as it grows in the future too.
There is confusion, perhaps organized confusion, surrounding the variety of names for the R series of cars. Presently, there is already the R8 Coupe. Soon quattro GmbH (a subsidiary of Audi AG and manufacturer of the R8) will produce the V10 5.0L TFSI engine model. It is expected in the second quarter of 2009. This motor is an HP technical version of the motor from the RS6 (C6) and produces 580 HP which exceeds today’s 4.2 litre R8 by 160 HP. Some refer to this model as the R10 and some call it the RS8. If the styling prototypes make it to production, look for style variations in both front and rear bumpers, larger side blade air scoops, a restyled grill, etc. etc.
Then look for an R8 Cabriolet. Don’t hold your breath while expecting any other engine than the original 4.2 FSI 420 HP mill. And already fighting for production time on the assembly line in Neckarsulm are the R10 or R12 (or R8 V12) TDI diesels. Current rate of production is 15 cars per day - but you should know that some 5,000 parts are hand fitted. The bottom line on R8 cabriolets - if you want one - order one yesterday; you may be driving it in the spring of 2011
As time progresses, the R series of accessories will grow and mature. The car is an enormous success and will sit atop the Audi lineup for all to see the corporate motto - Vorsprung durch Technik, ( "Advancement through Technology") - in action.
