2011 Audi R8 Coupe

A mid-engine luxury sports coup?,the Audi R8 was designed by the manufacturer?s high-performance subsidiary,and is based on the Lamborghini Gallardo platform. The 2-seat supercar is known for its signature side blades,and is available as a hardtop or a convertible,the latter known as the Audi R8 Spyder.

The 2011 Audi R8?s two trim levels are based on its engines. The base R8 4.2 model features 19-inch wheels,Xenon headlights,carbon fiber trim inside and out,leather and Alcantara upholstery,power-adjustable sport seats,sport suspension,adaptive suspension dampers,7-speaker sound system,and Bluetooth connectivity. The convertible version features a power soft top and a retractable window. The R8 5.2 trim,in addition to its more powerful engine,has slightly different accents and finishes,as well as a suspension more in keeping with its powertrain. Some of its upgrades are available as options with the 4.2 trim,and various cosmetic choices are available with both trims. The R8 features some cargo space behind the two seats,and a front trunk of 3.5 cubic feet,according to Audi.

Two engines are available on the 2011 Audi R8. The standard power plant on the R8 4.2 is a 430-horsepower,4.2-liter V-8 engine that produces 317 lb.-ft. of torque,placed at the rear of the vehicle. The Audi R8 5.2 employs a 525-horsepower,5.2-liter V-10 engine that makes 391 lb.-ft. of torque. Both engines work with Audi?s Quattro all-wheel drive. The standard transmission is a 6-speed manual,and a 6-speed automated manual transmission is optional. EPA fuel-economy estimates for the 4.2 Quattro R8 are 12 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway with the manual transmission. The 5.2 Quattro with the manual transmission offers 12 mpg in the city,20 mpg highway,and 15 mpg combined.

Standard safety features on the 2011 Audi R8 include anti-lock disc brakes,stability control,traction control,front side air bags,and knee air bags.

Starting MSRPs for the 2011 Audi R8 were $127,700 for the 4.2 model and $162,700 for the 5.2 model.

Category Definitions

Performance and Design: Taken from the Automotive Performance, Execution and Layout (APEAL) study, this measure is based on owner satisfaction with vehicle Performance, Style, Features and Instrument Panel, and Comfort.

Initial Quality: Taken from the Initial Quality Study (IQS), which looks at owner-reported problems in the first 90 days of new-vehicle ownership, this score is based on problems that have caused a complete breakdown or malfunction, or where controls or features may work as designed, but are difficult to use or understand.

Predicted Reliability: Derived from historical trending for a vehicle and/or manufacturer in our Initial Quality and Vehicle Dependability Studies, Predicted Reliability is a forecast of how reliable a newer vehicle might be over time.

Overall Dependability: Taken from the Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), which looks at owner-reported problems in the first 3 years of new-vehicle ownership, this score is based on problems that have caused a complete breakdown or malfunction of any component, feature, or item (i.e., components that stop working or trim pieces that break or come loose).
