Audi R8 V10 Performance RWD is unveiled

The excellent contract hire Audi R8 Performance RWD is the new entry-level model to the incredible R8 sports car range.

It's available as either a Spyder or Coupe and this rear-wheel drive sports car delivers driving fun.

Part of that is down to the mid-mounted engine that delivers 570 PS to deliver true sports car performance.

Audi says that with rear-wheel drive, there will be ‘unfiltered’ driving dynamics and this is a more powerful model than the previous entry-level version.

With a top speed of 204 mph, drivers can expect the R8 Performance RWD to sprint from 0 to 62 mph in just 3.7 seconds. The Spyder is a tad slower 3.8 seconds.

Audi R8 V10 Performance RWD car lease

The power for the Audi R8 V10 Performance RWD car lease range comes from a 5.2-litre engine that offers an unparalleled soundtrack.

There's torque of 550Nm that is delivered to the rear wheels and the power is controlled by a seven-speed S tronic automatic transmission.

To help control the car, Audi has added a mechanical limited slip differential, so the torque is distributed to the wheel that needs traction.

The body is built from aluminium using Audi’s Space Frame design, and there's lots of carbon fibre and reinforced plastic too.

It weighs in at just 1,590 kg – while the Spyder weighs 1,695 kg.

Great sports car

The driving dynamics, as well as the suspension, have been balanced specifically to enjoy the rear-wheel drive from this great sports car.

In sports mode, the control systems and suspension setup will allow for controlled drifts.

And with electromechanical power steering, Audi says there's better contact with the road.

The dynamic steering delivers better feedback and precise reaction and is available for the first time in the R8.

Audi's virtual cockpit

Inside, the interior impresses with Audi's virtual cockpit and a 12.3-inch screen.

There's the R8 leather steering wheel and the option of R8 sport bucket seats that are upholstered in leather.

Audi says this is the ultimate everyday supercar with 19-inch forged alloy wheels, a flat-bottomed steering wheel, a gloss black styling pack and wireless charging.

Prices start at £126,885, for the R8 V10 Performance, and rise to £162,680 for the impressive R8 V10 Performance Quattro Edition.

The contract hire Audi R8 V10 Performance RWD is certainly a supercar that will deliver miles of fun and it's a car lease to consider to stand out from the crowd.
