Audi R8 Accessories & Parts

Combininig a race-inspired heritage with a modern sense of sportiness, the Audi R8 has quickly become one of the most visible models on the roster. Introduced in 2006, the Audi R8 is a two-seat sports coupe based on the Le Mans Quattro concept car, which won the 24 Hours of Le Mans race numerous times. An open-top roadster version of the car dubbed the R8 Spider was also released in 2009. Currently, the Audi R8 can be found all over the globe, including the US, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, and of course, throughout Europe.

The R8 debuted with a 4.2L V8 internal combustion 32-valve engine comprised of aluminum parts. It is good for approximately 420 horsepower along with 317 pounds-per-foot of torque, and is mated to either a six-speed manual or six-speed R Tronic sequential-shift manual transmission with an automatic mode. Of course, the R8 features Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system. A 5.2L V10 engine became available in December 2008, showing off 518 horsepower and a top speed of 197 miles per hour. The styling of the R8 is significant, and the exterior displays an aerodynamic edge rounded out it by the angled nose and the rear-mounted engine layout. A front-end grill with xenon HID headlights marks the face of the vehicle, but what helps the model stand out even more are the 12 LED running lights located beneath each headlamp housing. In fact, aftermarket variants of the R8 headlight housings have been produced and are proven to be a popular accessory.

Numerous Audi R8 accessories create comfort for the driver inside the cabin. Heated leather seats come standard while options like GPS satellite navigation and a Bang and Olufsen stereo system are also offered. Most car buyers, however, seek out the R8 for its performance capability and quality underhood parts, not its interior layout, given the model's sporty reputation.
