 Quoting Audi chief engineer Michael Dick reportedly would 2014 R8 the current pattern of weight about 100 kg (220 lbs), undermine, while increasing the rigidity torsional rigidity by 30%. It is not, and to get there, Audi reported the chassis of a combination of aluminum and carbon fiber create.





Advanced construction methods can benefit from enterprise are developed by sister carbon Lamborghini, Audi has a great rate for the existence of the R8 at all.




Inhabited would that will shoot my next gen R8 in price, or if we have a look at the simplest carbon in the area of the exotic supercar of three to ten times the price? We have to wait and see, but we expect that to redesign the current version of the template before the novelty in 2014.
