AUDI R8 V10 RWD & AUDI RS7 SPORTBACK
‘THE WAY THE RS7 TURNS IN IS SURPRISING FOR A BIG AUDI’
AUDI IS FIELDING TWO CONTENDERS THIS YEAR, and although they’re not far apart in performance, they could hardly be more different. One is a minimalist version of its mid-engined supercar while the other is a five-door ‘coupe’ incorporating the full contents of Audi’s technology toy box.
The R8 V10 RWD uses the tamest version of the venerable 5.2-litre, naturally aspirated V10, delivering ‘just’ 533bhp to the rear wheels, as its name suggests. Those wheels are 19-inch items and no factory upsizing is offered. You can’t add adaptive dampers either, making this the simplest and least expensive but potentially most rewarding R8 in the range.
Meanwhile, the RS7 is on
