2015 Audi R8 Competition unveiled

Audi is set to present its most powerful production car ever – the 2015 Audi R8 Competition at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show, which is scheduled to commence next month.  This road legal Audi R8 Competition draws its inspiration from the Audi R8 LMS race car which has been doing quite well in the international GT racing.

The R8 Competition features a set of matte black carbon fibre components, including a fixed rear wing, side blades, wing mirror caps, highlights on the centre tunnel, rear diffuser and front spoiler. The R8 Competition rides on 19-inch gloss black alloy wheels. Stopping power comes from ceramic brakes finished off with red brake calipers.

The sporty styling continues inside the cabin as well with the car featuring a matte carbon fibre trim lit up with ‘R8 competition’ door sill plates. Other interior details and colourways can also be customised according to the owner’s preferences.

The 2015 Audi R8 Competition is equipped with a 5.2-litre V10 engine that develops 570PS of power. It is paired with a seven-speed S tronic and an all-wheel drive system which enables the car to sprint from 0-100kmph in 3.2 seconds before reaching a top-speed of 320kmph. The latter number makes the Audi R8 Competition the ‘fastest R8 ever offered.’

Production will be limited to just 60 units and the model will apparently be available only in the international market. The company will begin accepting orders in November, and the first deliveries are scheduled for early next year.
