Audi R18 e-tron quattro
13 triumphs
Prove the ability to develop
future technology through motorsport.
With numerous technical innovations, Audi has made motor racing history at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Until now, the brand with the four rings has achieved thirteen wins in this toughest long-distance
race in the world. Plus there was the distance record from 2010: 5,410.71 kilometres were
covered in one race. In 2012 and 2013, Audi started at Le Mans with the R18 e-tron quattro and
a completely new technology – the hybrid drive. And won at the first attempt. This racing car
furthermore secured the world championship title at the FIA World Endurance Championship
in 2012 and 2013. In 2014, Audi triumphed with the R18 e-tron quattro once again at Le Mans
and also set a new best value with respect to efficiency. By using ultra technologies, an optimised
hybrid system and a newly developed 4-litre V6 TDI engine, a decrease in the fuel consumption
of 22 percent compared to the previous year was achieved. To date, 100 wins in long-distance
racing series around the world can be attributed to the Audi Le Mans prototypes (LMP) R8, R10 TDI,
R15 TDI, R18 TDI, R18 ultra and R18 e-tron quattro.
But the successes on the race track serve one core purpose: they are initiators for series innovations.
Accordingly, you’ll find more than quattro, TDI, TFSI and hybrid drive in Audi standard models.
Our most recent innovations, such as LED headlights with matrix beam technology and the
laser light that were tested on the race track in tough conditions, are there as well. Audi
lightweight technologies provide the decisive split-second lead on the race track, and on the road
they offer noticeably more driving dynamics, improved driving performance, lower consumption
and lower emission values. The demonstration of what is possible in terms of technology pioneers
the technologies you will find in many Audi standard vehicles.

Audi R8 LMS
269 wins in the genes
The new Audi R8 LMS.
The Audi R8 LMS succeeded in putting, the R8 on the race track: since 2009 the teams in over 1,050 races have
won 26 national and international titles as well as 269 races in the GT3 sport. These include the 24-hour
classics Nurburgring, Spa and Daytona. In total, the Audi R8 drivers have appeared on the podium 745 times.
The successor to the Audi R8 LMS lives up to these triumphs that can be traced back to the R8 – with the
best basic prerequisites:
The rear-wheel driven GT3 racing car deploys a power output of up to 430 kW* on the race track. Just like the
vehicles competing in the DTM, aero-dynamic attachments provide for the necessary contact pressure. With
the exception of the roof, all external attachments are made of carbon. Accordingly, the overall weight of
the Audi R8 LMS has been reduced to only 1,225 kg*.
Around 50 percent of the vehicle parts are taken from the R8 V10 Coupé, including impressive technologies
such as the Audi Space Frame (ASF®) and the V10 engine. The Audi R8 LMS thus combines standard series
and racing technologies, and stands out in particular thanks to its high reliability and performance. An ideal
basis for successful motorsport.
Audi race experience enables you to experience motor racing atmosphere first hand with the R8 LMS ultra:
from individual training and acquiring a motorsport licence to participating in a race.

Prove that it has nothing to prove.
The appearance of the new Audi R8 V10 plus Coupé makes its presence felt. Except when it
comes to air resistance. The aero-dynamic body line is based on the shape of the legendary
Audi R18. In addition, many details made of carbon, such as the new front spoiler, the exterior
mirror housings, the two-piece sideblades, the rear wing and rear diffuser, which give it an
unmistakeable motor racing look. The 19-inch forged aluminium wheels and the 19-inch ceramic
brake impressively draw attention to the R8 V10 plus Coupé even when stationary. As soon as
the engine deploys its power and the fixed rear wing increases the downforce one thing becomes
strikingly clear: this car is about more than just looks.

Performance
Maximum power. Put to maximum use.
The FSI® principle.
Consequently dynamic: the 5.2-litre V10 high-speed engine with dual injection reaches a power output of 449 kW. With a
maximum torque of 560 Nm the R8 V10 plus Coupé accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds. Propulsion ends only
at 330 km/h. The Audi R8 V10 Coupé brings a comparable performance to the road. With 397 kW and a maximum torque of
540 Nm, it sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds. In addition, the deep installation position of the V10 engine and the
cylinder angle of 90° provide the R8 with a low centre of gravity. An even oil supply is achieved in conjunction with the dry sump
lubrication used in motorsport and you can enjoy the torque and agility in every bend even at high lateral acceleration forces.
The impressive combination of the inlet manifold and direct injection offers improved power delivery, low consumption and
reduced exhaust emissions. And it complies with the strict guidelines of the EU6 emission standard. The engine runs even more
efficiently with Audi cylinder on demand. Depending on the driving conditions in partial-load operation, the injection and
ignition are switched off at a cylinder bank and only five, instead of ten, cylinders are active. Meanwhile the engine continues to
run as quietly as ever and with improved consumption and emission values. Within milliseconds, the inactive cylinders can be
switched on and the engine once again deploys its full power.
Engine: the S tronic 7-speed dual-clutch transmission combines the advantages of a conventional manual transmission with
those of a modern automatic transmission. Setting benchmarks in terms of sportiness, comfort and efficiency. Using two
permanently active transmission parts and by changing the power-transmitting clutch, gear changes are enabled in
hundredths of a seconds and with virtually no break in propulsive power. The start-stop system and the coasting mode further
help to improve efficiency.
The fuel consumption and CO₂ emission figures can be found on page 84.

quattro®
Superb roadholding.
The quattro® permanent all-wheel drive.
Outstanding traction, improved handling dynamics and more driving safety – that is quattro. Hardly any other drive
system around transfers the engine’s power to the road so effortlessly. In the Audi R8 Coupé a newly developed quattro
drivetrain is deployed. An electronically controlled and hydraulically operated multi-plate clutch at the front axle and a
mechanical differential lock at the rear axle enable controlled and sporty driving behaviour while maintaining outstanding
traction. What is special here is that the drive torque can be variably distributed between the front and rear axle as
required. In addition, the wheel-selective torque control counteracts undesirable wheel slip through targeted braking
actions on all wheels.
Depending on the weather and road conditions, it’s possible to further modify the permanent all-wheel drive. Linking the
quattro software and Audi drive select, R8 V10 plus Coupé drivers are able to use performance mode to adjust the drive
characteristics to the route conditions. The R8 V10 Coupé can also be equipped with the performance mode.

Dynamics
Bending the road to your will.
Brake systems and suspensions.
Brake systems
Demonstrate power: with the standard 19-inch brake system in the Audi R8 V10 Coupé.
The 8-piston fixed callipers at the front axle and the 4-piston fixed callipers at the rear
axle take powerful hold at the wave brake discs. The cast friction rings have a waveshaped outer contour and are connected to the aluminium brake disc chamber by
means of steel pins. This so-called floating mounting ensures that the friction ring
remains largely tension-free, and improves stability when subjected to high temperatures.
Axial perforation and cooling channels for internal ventilation increase the performance
of the brake discs. The intelligent mix of materials and the characteristic geometry of
the friction rings allowed weight to be reduced, thus also improving the balance of the
unsprung masses.
For even tougher requirements: the 19-inch ceramic brake system* at the front and
rear – standard in the Audi R8 V10 plus Coupé. And optionally available for the Audi
R8 V10 Coupé. The brake discs consist of carbon-fibre-reinforced ceramic material, a
composite ceramic material made of hard silicon carbide. Even under high thermal
stress their excellent deceleration and control are impressive. They also stand out thanks
to their low weight. Moreover, the enormously firm and abrasion-resistant material
increases the service life of the discs.
* Please consult your Audi partner or national Audi website to find out more about the
special features of the ceramic brake.
Suspensions
Show character: with the sport suspension in the Audi R8 V10 Coupé you will experience
sporty, as well as self-assured driving. A double-wishbone axle is used for the front and
rear suspension. What’s impressive about this construction that originated in motorsport
is the resultant kinematics variance, highly precise wheel steering and excellent agility.
The only way to achieve even more direct contact with the road and dynamic handling is
with the stiffer spring/shock absorber combination of the Audi R8 V10 plus Coupé.
Audi magnetic ride is optionally available for individual suspension tuning. Depending
on the selected mode, the damping forces are adjusted to the corresponding driving
situation in fractions of a second. Thus achieving uncompromising driving behaviour
and significantly more comfort and dynamism. The electromechanical power steering
with RS-specific characteristic curve also increases the sportiness.
More control: a whole new generation of steering wheels appears for the first time in the
Audi R8 Coupé. Depending on the model, it’s possible to control the engine start, exhaust
flaps, Audi drive select and the performance mode with a single hand movement – using
the R8 sport leather steering wheel with multifunction plus and two operating satellites
or the R8 performance leather steering wheel with multifunction plus and four
operating satellites which is optionally available for the R8 V10 Coupé. On request, the
optional performance mode provides for a plus in dynamism in the R8 V10 Coupé.

Audi drive select
Reach your destination.
The way you want.
Audi drive select.
Changing the character: with the standard Audi drive select in the Audi R8 V10 Coupé. Individual vehicle
components can be influenced at the push of a button – including the engine, steering, permanent quattro allwheel drive and the transmission. Four different modes are available for drivers to adjust the R8 to each
corresponding driving condition: auto, comfort, dynamic and individual. Auto for superior sporty quality.
Comfort for longer journeys. Dynamic for ambitious driving. And individual, so you configure the individual
components according to your preferences.
Various optional systems can be configured, too. For example, the characteristic curves of the shock absorbers
of the Audi magnetic ride. These can be varied in three stages: from balanced rolling in comfort mode through
to sporty, direct responsiveness in the dynamic setting. The Audi R8 V10 plus Coupé is additionally equipped
with the performance mode which is also optionally available for the R8 V10 Coupé. Thanks to the permanently
assigned frictional coefficient parameters dry, wet and snow, drivers are able to actively adjust the R8 to the
corresponding route conditions. For a plus in dynamism and safety.

Laser light technology
See and be seen.
Audi laser light.
An innovation with brilliance: the optional full-LED headlights with Audi laser light. The laser light technology is a revelation
in lighting technology. It not only beams brighter than the conventional LED high beam, it also reaches twice as far. And
provides more safety and comfort thanks to the increased range. From speeds of 60 km/h, four bundled high-power diodes
with a wavelength of 450 Nm per headlight are used as the light source. The blue laser beams hit phosphor converter plates
which transforms them into roadworthy white light. A reflector bundles the beams into an almost point-shaped source of
light that focuses only on the car’s own lane thanks to narrow side illumination, resulting in a significantly improved visual
range that is bound to win you over. Blue ambient lighting and the front indicators with dynamic display – additional highlights
of the R8 V10 Coupé – also allow for an unmistakeable appearance.

Audi Space Frame (ASF®)
Innovative lightweight
construction.
Audi Space Frame (ASF®).
Vehicle body rigidity made easy: for over two decades, the Audi Space Frame has been a convincing example of innovative
lightweight technology. The high-strength aluminium frame structure is characterised by a high level of rigidity while at
the same time being lightweight. With the R8 V10 Coupé, Audi presents a new body concept and the next evolutionary
step of the Audi Space Frame. The multi-material construction design takes centre stage. The body of the new Audi
R8 V10 Coupé, for example, is made up of a variety of components: 50 % extruded aluminium sections, 15 % aluminium
sheets and 21 % aluminium cast nodes. In addition to the well-known materials, new materials are being used in the Audi
R8 V10 Coupé for the first time – such as the carbon elements that make up the final 14 %. This, in combination, with the
higher-strength aluminium alloys and the struts concept in the rear of the car, allowed for a further increase in body
rigidity and reduction in weight – while improving the functional characteristics at the same time. In addition, the
geometric lightweight construction improved power transmission. That is because the Audi Space Frame represents not
only safety, but also increased performance and sporty handling.

Manufacture
Hand-made precision.
Audi manufacture.
Each Audi R8 is unique and bears its own personal style. Unlike in large-scale productions with fully automated
processes, the R8 is mostly hand-made in the sports car manufacture of quattro GmbH. For example, the weld
seams of the bodyshell are mainly manually created. Robots are used only for support for non-ergonomic
production processes. Small, highly qualified teams give the sports car its unique shape and always comply with
stringent Audi requirements – from assembling the body to putting on the finishing touches. After the body has
been constructed, the most experienced employees assemble the R8 at 15 coordinated stations almost exclusively
by hand. Due to the numerous equipment variants and customisation possibilities hardly any combination is
created twice.

52
Manufacture
High-quality work down to the last detail.
Audi quality management.
The quality assurance engineers must meet the highest standards: their own. After completion, each car undergoes
demanding quality control, because precision is a top priority at Audi. Each surface unevenness is detected. Even the
slightest deviations from the most narrow clearance are noticed. Subsequently, each R8 is taken for a detailed road test
drive which completes the comprehensive quality process. We have only one goal: to create an exceptional vehicle.

Audi wheels.
To make sure you have peace of mind for every metre of your drive, Audi puts its
wheels through an exacting series of specialised test procedures. Hardness tests,
for example, aim for maximum stability, while a copper accelerated salt spray test
– CASS for short – using acetic acid guarantees the greatest possible corrosion
protection. Thanks to these and many other measures, we can ensure that every
Audi wheel offers maximum quality – even after scores of kilometres. No matter
which of the numerous designs you choose.

part of the R8 performance leather steering wheel
with multifunction plus and 4 operating satellites with
3 additional setting options (dry, wet and snow) for
improved driving dynamics and even more sportiness;
can be set directly via the R8 performance leather
steering wheel with multifunction and 4 operating
satellites
Audi drive select
features different modes – auto, comfort, dynamic
and individual – that allow you to change the vehicle’s
individual characteristics by adapting the engine and
gear-change characteristics, power steering assistance,
exhaust flap control and the settings of optional
equipment
Recuperation
economises on fuel through brake energy recovery;
kinetic energy is converted into usable electrical energy
by increasing the generator voltage when the vehicle is
coasting or braking and relieving the generator during
subsequent acceleration
Start-stop system
helps to reduce fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions
by automatically switching off the engine when stationary,
e.g. at traffic lights. The start process is initiated as
soon as the foot brake is released. Can be deactivated
via a switch in the centre console at any time
Sport exhaust system
dual-branch design with gloss black trapezoidal tailpipe
trims; for an increased sound experience
S tronic®
The 7-speed dual-clutch transmission with electrohydraulic
actuation allows faster gear changing with virtually no
perceptible break in propulsive power. The S tronic can
be manually operated using the shift paddles behind
the steering wheel or via the selector lever. In automatic
mode, choose from programmes D (Drive) and S (Sport).
Includes hill hold assist
When in “D” gear, coasting mode allows an anticipatory
driving style and helps to reduce fuel consumption
by automatically disengaging when the accelerator
is released. It is automatically re-engaged when the
footbrake or the accelerator is pressed. Can be activated
in Audi drive select comfort mode
Audi cylinder on demand
Depending on the driving conditions in partial-load
operation, the injection and ignition are switched off
at a cylinder bank and only 5, instead of 10, cylinders
are active. Whilst the engine continues to run as quietly
as ever and with improved consumption and emission
values. Within milliseconds, the inactive cylinders can
be switched on and the engine deploys its full power
once again.
Audi Extended Warranty
The Audi Extended Warranty provides extended risk
cover and cost control beyond the first 2 years of the
manufacturer’s warranty for a variety of claims. It can
be ordered directly and only on purchase of a new car.
Choose from 9 combinations of service life and mileage.

The fascination of Audi
Responsibility
Living up to our responsibilities is a principle that is firmly
anchored in Audi strategy. Alongside commercial success
and international competitiveness, our responsibility
toward company employees and society as a whole is a
key consideration, as is protecting the environment and
conserving resources. And what is true in the details –
our catalogues are printed on FSC-certified paper – also
holds in general: Audi develops cars that are not only
sporty and emotive but also ever more efficient. In the
long run, Audi wants its products to allow CO₂-neutral
mobility. Seeing to it that production in Audi plants
gradually becomes CO₂-neutral is another aspect of our
comprehensive approach. Audi is also committed to
society – particularly in the fields of education, technology
and social projects. At Audi, sustainability is closely linked
with how we see the future: the Audi Urban Future Initiative
sees Audi working with international experts to get to the
root of future urban challenges and trends in mobility.
Discover the world of Audi.
Choosing an Audi means choosing
a brand that offers more.
More individuality. More exclusivity.
More fascination.
The Audi experience
The fascination of Audi can be experienced in many
different ways. Audi City Berlin, Audi City London and
Audi City Beijing, for example, give you digital access to
all models in their actual size and in real time. And of
course it is always worth visiting one of the major motor
shows. This is where Audi always presents its new models
and invites you to take a look at how the future is being
shaped with “Vorsprung durch Technik”. Anyone interested
in seeing how Audi is already putting this into practice
will find fascinating insight in the “Vorsprung durch
Technik” online special at www.audi.com. But a look
back can also be rewarding: at the Audi museum mobile
in Ingolstadt, history and high-tech go hand in hand. A
total of 130 historic exhibits and state-of-the-art forms
of presentation make for a thrilling symbiosis. Plus, Audi
driving experience allows you to live the excitement and
countless possibilities of current Audi models. Here, pure
driving enjoyment is combined with valuable learning
effects. This is ensured by a team of specially trained
and highly qualified instructors who provide practical
tips to help you optimise your driving skills. All this can
now also be enjoyed at the recently opened Audi driving
experience center in Neuburg, near Ingolstadt. Facilities
here include a circuit of up to 3.4 kilometres that features
challenging combinations of bends, a 30,000 m² dynamic
driving area and an offroad section where Q models can
be put through their paces.

Team spirit
Motorsport is a driving force behind the brand. For years
Audi has been among the champions in various racing
series, for instance the 24 Hours of Le Mans or the DTM
German Touring Car Masters. The values that are crucial
in many different areas of sport are also central ones for
Audi: precision, passion and technology. No coincidence
then that Audi has been sponsoring sporting events for
many years. In the world of winter sports, for example,
Audi has been the main sponsor of the German Ski
Association (DSV) for almost three decades and has
also partnered 16 other national alpine teams. In
football, we support national and international teams.
And Audi is also a partner for the German Olympic
Sports Confederation.
