YES ACHIEVES THE IMPOSSIBLE.
It creates progress.
It takes risks.
And it makes a statement.
What follows are the results of
refusing to yield to limitations and
instead, embracing the possibilities.
Welcome to the cars that
“
yes” built.
A DECADE OF SUNDAYS
ATOP THE PODIUM
IS VALIDATION OF
OUR TECHNOLOGY
AND OUR CARS.
|
YES| Once a year, Audi brings its best to a little race called the 24 Hours of Le Mans. And over the past decade, we’ve stood atop the podium eight times.
ONE BRANCH OVER
ON THE FAMILY TREE.
|
YES| The same designers who created the Le Mans-winning prototypes also designed the R8. So, to distinguish it from the racecar, they gave it a radio, roof and AC.
WE LIVE
IN THE DETAILS.
|
YES| The sideblades allow for personal customization of the R8 as well as channeling air to the state-of-the-art, mid-mounted engine.
WE DRAW INSPIRATION
FROM EVERYWHERE.
|
YES| Inspired by the Sydney Opera House, full LED headlights made their world debut in the R8.
OUR TOOLS HAVE FINGERS.
|
YES| A highly skilled pair of hands continues to be the ideal tool for creating a mere 20 works of art a day.
WE WRUNG OUT
THE PERIODIC TABLE
OF ELEMENTS.
|
YES| We use only the most advanced composites and alloys, such as carbon fiber, magnesium and aluminum blended with silicon, all for the sole purpose of performance.
525 HP MAKES
THE WORLD SEEM
MUCH SMALLER.
|
YES| The R8 V10: 0-60 in 3.7 seconds and a top track speed of 196 MPH.
*
FLIGHT SIMULATOR
OR SUPERCAR?
|
YES| The R8 double-wishbone aluminum suspension with quattro
®
all-wheel drive achieves lateral g-forces of 1.2. More g’s than a Saturn V rocket in the third stage of lifto.
TEN SCREAMING
PISTONS AND
TWO WELL-PADDED
HEADRESTS.
|
YES| With a piston speed of 60 MPH at the 8700 RPM redline, it’s no wonder this is the very same engine used in the R8 LMS GT3 racecar.
