German premium carmaker and Volkswagen Group company, Audi, launched on Friday the open-top version of its sportscar Audi R8.
Priced at Rs 1.47 crore (ex-showroom, Maharashtra), the Audi R8 Spyder is powered by a 525 HP 5.2 litre V10 petrol engine. The R8 features the company's proprietary space frame technology, permanent all-wheel drive, LED headlights and can touch 100 kmph from standstill in 4.1 seconds. The sportscar, which can touch a maximum speed of 313 kmph, will be available at Audi dealerships from April this year.
“We believe that the Audi R8 Spyder will add to the spurring demand for excellence in auto performance. With this addition to the R8 family, after the launch of the R8 V10 in January, Audi now offers the whole range of R8 options in India,” said Mr Michael Perschke, Head, Audi India.
The R8 Spyder offers a sequential six-speed transmission, which can be used in both automatic and manual mode. It also features Launch Control, besides a premium Bang & Olufsen sound system, heated seats and pigmented leather seat covers to reduce heating from the sun's rays.
