Inspired by winning racing pedigree

The new Audi R8 is a masterpiece; stunning design engineering and automotive genius. Nothing else on the road looks or drives like it.

 

Audi design engineers have taken more than just inspiration from their multiple Le Mans-winning cars. Compare the new R8 with its race-winning parents and you’ll notice some distinct similarities. But it’s not just the new Audi R8’s stunning looks that have been inspired by our track cars.

 

Over 70 years of successful competitive motor racing, we’ve learnt a lot about building high-performance, class-leading cars. But the knowledge we’ve built on the track doesn’t just stay there; a surprising amount of thoroughbred racing technology finds its way into our production cars. From the clarity of the instrumentation to the power of the engine, there’s racing pedigree in every Audi.
