Exterior of Audi R8 V10 2016

Being a 2-door supercar, Audi R8 does not lack in aerodynamics. Outside, the 2016 Audi R8 is slightly different from its predecessor, although not much. LED lights are standard, laser lights optional. The 2016 Audi R8 will use the slightly different platform and will probably be a bit wider and longer than the previous R8. As for the chassis, Audi will use an aluminum and carbon fiber monocoque which is going to add some weight, but it will also add sturdiness which supercars desperately need.
