The latest incarnation of the Audi R8 raises the bar higher still. Larger air intakes and a generous 5.2 L 525 hp engine ensure that the R8 5.2 FSI and Audi R8 5.2 V10 exists in a class of its own. Of course, the ability to achieve 0-100 km/h in a pulse-pounding 3.9 seconds also plays a part, as do the ominous looks of the all-LED headlights; a first in the industry. Every detail serves as definitive proof that Audi continues to set new, remarkable standards, even if they set the old ones to begin with.
Your 2011 Audi R8 5.2 FSI and Audi R8 5.2 V10 vehicle is equipped with a phone preparation utilizing Bluetooth® interface to enable hands-free functionality (compatible mobile phones sold separately).

2011 Audi R8 5.2 FSI and 2011 Audi R8 5.2 V10 Airbags are supplemental restraints only and will not deploy under all accident circumstances. Always use safety belts and seat children only in the rear seats, using restraint systems appropriate for their size and age. 2011 Audi R8 5.2 FSI and 2011 Audi R8 5.2 V10 Summer performance tires are designed for optimum performance and handling in warm climates. They are not suitable for cold, snowy or icy weather conditions. If you drive under those circumstances, you should equip your vehicle with all-season or winter tires, which offer better traction under those conditions. We suggest you use the recommended winter or all-season tires specified for your car or its equivalent. Check your provinces regulators for mandatory use of winter tires.
These summer performance tires also have a lower aspect ratio that aids performance and handling; however, in order to avoid tire, rim or vehicle damage, it is important that the inflation pressure is regularly checked and maintained at recommended levels. Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road surfaces or upon encountering road debris or obstacles. Please also remember in making your selection that, while these tires deliver responsive handling, they may ride less comfortably and make more noise than other choices. Finally, these tires may wear more quickly than other choices. For more information on all of these topics, please consult the owner’s manual, your local dealer or call 1-800-FOR-AUDI.

The 2011 Audi R8 5.2 FSI and Audi R8 5.2 V10 Navigation System depends upon signals from the worldwide Global Positioning Satellite network. The vehicle’s electrical system, and existing wireless and satellite technologies, must be available and operating properly for the system to function. The system is designed to provide you with suggested routes in locating addresses, destinations and other points of interest. Changes in street names, construction zones, traffic flow, points of interest or other road system changes are beyond the control of Audi Canada. Complete, detailed mapping of lanes, roads, streets, toll roads, highways, etc., is not possible, therefore you may encounter discrepancies
between the mapping and your actual location.
Please rely on your individual judgment in determining whether or not to follow a suggested Audi Navigation System route. Periodically new mapping data is available. HDD update is required in order to maintain the latest navigation information. Updates are available for purchase from time to time at additional cost. Consult your dealer for details.

AUDI AG unveiled the Audi R8 5.2 V10 on 9 December 2008. It uses a 5.2 litre FSI engine, based on the unit in the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (which in turn was based on the 5.2 FSI V10 as used in the Audi C6 S6 and Audi D3 S8), but is re-tuned to produce a power output of 525 metric horsepower (386 kW; 518 bhp), and generate 530 newton metres (391 ft·lbf) of torque. Compared to the V8 variant, the R8 V10's performance numbers are enhanced. Audi states the new 0 to 100 kilometres per hour (0 to 62.1 mph) time as only 3.9 seconds, 60 to 124 miles per hour (97 to 200 km/h) in 8.1 seconds, and a top speed of 317 kilometres per hour (197.0 mph). Other changes to the V10 version of the R8 include some aesthetic differences: such as all-LED headlights (a world-first), interior enhancements such as Bang & Olufsen 465 watt sound system, and a more aggressive body styling, larger rear brakes and unique roadwheels. It was initially thought that this version of the R8 was going to have the same engine as the C6 Audi RS6, a 5.0 litre V10 TFSI twin-turbo engine, which produces 580 metric horsepower (427 kW; 572 bhp). However, some components of the twin-turbo system overheated, and one prototype was destroyed by fire at the Nürburgring. This model was shown at the 2009 North American International Auto Show.
