The Audi R8 (Typ 42) is a mid-engine, 2-seater sports car, which
uses Audi's trademark quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. It
was introduced by the German car manufacturer Audi AG in 2006. The
car is exclusively designed, developed, and manufactured by Audi
AG's high performance private subsidiary company, Audi Sport GmbH
(formerly quattro GmbH), and is based on the Lamborghini Gallardo
platform. The fundamental construction of the R8 is based on the
Audi Space Frame, and uses an aluminium monocoque which is built
using space frame principles. The car is built by quattro GmbH in a
newly renovated factory at Audi's 'aluminium site' at Neckarsulm in
Germany. In 2005, Audi announced that the name of the successful
Audi R8 race car would be used for a new road car in 2007, the Audi
R8, based on the Audi Le Mans quattro concept car (designed by
Frank Lamberty and Julian Hoenig), appearing at the 2003
International Geneva Motor Show, and 2003 Frankfurt International
Motor Show. The R8 development program began in 2004, Lamberty's
design being approved and frozen for production. Production body
prototypes began field testing in January 2006. The R8 road car was
officially launched at the Paris Auto Show on 30 September 2006.
There was some confusion with the name, which the car shares with
the 24 Hours of Le Mans winning R8 Le Mans Prototype (LMP). 6-time
24 Hours of Le Mans winner Jacky Ickx described the R8 as "the best
handling road car today".
