The Audi R8, called after the Le Mans racing car, is the first Audi super sports car. As the production version of the 2003 "Le Mans quattro" concept, the all-wheel driven R8 offers innovative and impressive design with bodywork made of light metal throughout. Driven by the 420 bhp high-revving 4.2 litre V8 engine of the Audi RS4, this agile two-seater accelerates to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds and has a top speed of over 300 km/h. There is an optional automatic gearbox available and thanks to the magnetic fluid in the shock absorbers an electronically adjustable suspension system can also be ordered. This road sports car is produced at the rate of 20 per day. Extensive decals and illustrated instructions are included with the kit.
