You're in luck, as now there's a convertible version of the midengine sports car from Ingolstadt, the 2011 Audi R8 Spyder. For good measure, Audi has increased the output of the 4.2-literV8 by 10 horsepower.
It doesn't take a lot to imagine yourself owning a 2011 Audi R8. Also, the navigation system is awkward to use and the optional R tronic automated manual transmission shifts clumsily at low speed.
Body Styles, Trim Levels, and Options
The 2011 Audi R8 is a two-seat exotic supercar available in 4.2 Coupe, 4.2 Spyder, 5.2 Coupe and 5.2 Spyder trim levels.
Standard equipment on the 4.2 Coupe includes 19-inch wheels, adaptive suspension dampers, cruise control, automatic xenon headlights, LED running lights, automatic climate control, heated eight-way power seats (with four-way power-adjustable lumbar), leather and faux suede upholstery, auto-dimming rearview mirror, Bluetooth and a seven-speaker sound system with six-CD changer, auxiliary audio jack and satellite radio.
Powertrains and Performance
The 2011 Audi R8 4.2 is powered by a 4.2-liter V8 mounted behind the passenger compartment that sends 430 hp and 317 pound-feet of torque through an all-wheel-drive system. A six-speed manual transmission with a gated metal shifter is standard, while a six-speed single-clutch automated manual known as R tronic is optional. EPA-estimated fuel economy is 12/19/14 with the manual and 13/19/15 with R tronic.
Safety
Standard safety equipment includes antilock disc brakes, stability control, side airbags and knee airbags. Front and rear parking sensors and a rearview camera are available.
Interior Design and Special Features
The seats are comfortable for long-distance travel and the driving position suits a wide range of people.
