The prototype 2017 R8 is put through its paces by Audi works driver Frank Stippler
“We have brought together racing experience from the first generation and automotive experience from the entire company,” says Quattro managing director Heinz Hollerweger, as translated in a subtitled version of the video posted by Worldcarfans. “I think that’s what’s unique about this new car.”
Speaking from behind the wheel, Stippler notes that the range-topping V10′s 610 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque provides “certainly enough power” for any situation.
“No engine is better suited to this car than the 10 cylinder naturally aspirated engine,” adds Hollerweger. “Sporty, emotion-packed and superior in every situation.”
The camouflage will be pulled off Audi’s new flagship sports car at the Geneva Motor Show.
