The German carmaker Audi has pulled the wraps off the new R8 Competition. The vehicle has been described as the “most powerful Audi production vehicle to-date”.
The 2015 R8 Competition is influenced in styling by the R8 LMS race car and benefits from gloss black alloy wheels, a sports exhaust system with gloss black tailpipes and carbon ceramic brakes. It also has matte-black carbon fiber for the mirror caps, side skirts, rear wing and rear diffuser.

Under the hood of the Audi R8 Competition is a 5.2-litre V10 engine capable of generating 570 hp. The power is sent to all wheels via a seven-speed paddle-shift S tronic transmission allowing the car to reach 60mph from a stop in 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 199mph.
