Vehicle Description
Unique to the U.S. market, this R8 is one of 30 Panther Editions
produced. Finished in the Audi exclusive Panther Black crystal
effect paint the Panther Edition features carbon-fiber mirrors,
engine compartment and side intakes, as well as blacked-out Audi
badges. The R8 sits on 20-inch matte black with bright red trim
five-double-spoke wheels wrapped with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
tires. The red interior includes power height and manual front to
back seat adjustment racing seats wrapped in Crimson Red leather
with the rest of the interior trimmed in Audi exclusive black
leather and Crimson Red stitching. There's Alcantara on the
headliner, gear selector and steering wheel, which has a Crimson
Red 12-o'clock marker, and Audi exclusive R8 embroidered floor mats
with Crimson Red leather edging. A Bang & Olufsen sound system is
standard on the Panther Edition. A naturally aspirated 5.2-liter
V10 engine is at the heart of this supercar and produces 532hp and
398 ft/lbs of torque to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch
automatic transmission. Audi claims that the rear-wheel-drive
Panther Edition can launch to 60 mph in 3.6 seconds and reach a top
speed of 201 mph. The Panther Edition cars are equipped with a
sport exhaust system to amplify the 10-cylinder roar. The exhaust
system can be adjusted on the fly via a dedicated satellite button
on the steering wheel or via the Audi drive select setting. This
example has 2,053 miles.
