It seems our mutually-preferred German automaker is trying to exorcise its inner speed demon. For whatever reason, they've decided to up the ante for their already superbly swift supercar, the 2015 Audi R8, by adding an all-new engine option to the mix. It's known as the V10 Plus and for us at Audi Memphis, this puppy makes our emotional engines purr.
Motivated by a monstrous 5.2-liter V10, this particular R8 churns out an astounding 550 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque. Zero to 60 mph sprint-time is equally impressive, clocking in at a lightning-quick 3.4 seconds. Furthermore, the R8 is outfitted with the brand's legendary quattro® all-wheel drive system for exceptional traction and control.
We must say: it sounds pretty darn sweet, too. Take a listen:
