The 2016 Audi R8 V10 is a newest version of the 2-seat supercar in a series that has been going on since 2006. The lovers of exotic cars are in for a treat on this one.
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.
Interior of 2016 Audi R8 V10
As far as the interior goes, the 2016 Audi R8 will most likely be a combination of luxury and supercar. It probably will not start any revolutions in this field, but should satisfy even the pickiest of customers. The 2016 Audi R8 will come with all the usual trimmings and a few extras like internet and radar-assisted parking. The 2016 Audi R8, like the previous generation, comes with a standard virtual cockpit which has been refined further. Driving modes, flaps, and engine can all be controlled via buttons on the steering wheel, which only adds to the futuristic design and the experience.
2016 Audi R8 V10 Engine and Transmission
When talking about the engine, 2016 Audi R8 might use a few different engines in order to facilitate easier customizing for the clients. The base car might get a new 3 liter twin turbocharged V6 which has more power at nearly 350 horsepower and 360 lb-ft of torque. Down the range there should be two more engines, one 4.2 liter V8 and one 5.2 liter V10. The V10 should provide anywhere between 580 and 610 horsepower. The diesel version, on the other hand, will make use of two different engines. The smaller one will be a 4.2 liter twin turbocharged V8 with 335 horsepower and more than 550 lb-ft of torque and the bigger one is a 5 liter V10 ranging from 400 to 420 horsepower and up to 700 lb-ft of torque. The only available transmission will be a 7 speed dual clutch automatic that will power all four wheels via a Quattro all wheel drive system.

The exact release date of 2016 Audi R8 V10 has not been made public yet. However, those who wish to give credence to rumors, talk about the last quarter of 2015.
2016 Audi R8 V10 Price
Much like the release date, the exact price of 2016 Audi R8 V10 has not been revealed at this point. Considering the situation on the market and recent developments, the price of this model should be about $10000 cheaper compared to the previous generation.
The 2016 Audi R8 V10 is the newest installment in the R8 series, and as such is definitely worthy of the name. While not implementing any radical changes, it still offers all the excitement and enjoyment you would expect from an Audi supercar.
