When the driver is the launch of the Control Program by clicking a button, the Audi R8 V10 off in a fiery start with fast electronic tire slip - with both the R and the electronic manual transmission.
One factor contributing to the broad initiative of the traction and safety of driving the Audi R8 V10 during the competition is quattro all-wheel drive - which is the superior technology, particularly for high performance sports car. Four-wheel power grab more than two. Allowing the driver to step on the gas when it goes before a curve. It is not only traction that benefits, but also the dynamics and transverse stability.
44 to 56 percent - the ideal distribution of axle load
The Audi R8 chassis offers dynamic and surprising levels of comfort over long distances. This high-performance sports car from Audi eagerly answered any direction instant action easily achieve lateral acceleration of up to 1.2 grams, and handles any situation with excellent driving safety. Mid-engine design provides an ideal distribution of axle load of 44 to 56 percent.
Aluminum wheel double wishbones front and rear suspensions - a classic racing technology - have been optimized for a neutral self-steering characteristics. Even more than in the eight-cylinder A8, this configuration is designed for maximum performance. 19-inch wheels fitted with a display of tire-pressure monitoring are standard. His 10-S spoke exclusively designed for the Audi R8 V10. Tire sizes 235/35 front and 295/30 rear.
The car has a shock of high-end technology as standard: Audi magnetic ride adapts to the characteristics of the suspension in milliseconds to the nature of the road surface and driving style. Suspended in the oil shocks are small magnetic particles when a voltage is applied, reorganize so that reduce the flow of oil through the valves.
In the Audi R8 V10, the deceleration is provided by a very muscular braking system - eight pistons at the front and four in the rear to capture the brake disks, which are ventilated and drilled to ensure the free transfer of heat. The brake discs on the front axle has a diameter of 380 millimeters (15), covering the rear discs 356 millimeters (14).
The Audi R8 V10 5.2 FSI quattro is available with an optional ceramic brake discs which are made of a composite material that contains high-strength carbon fibers and abrasion-resistant silicon carbide. These are especially light, their combined weight is nine kilograms (19.84 pounds) less than the weight of equivalent steel discs. Ceramic brakes can easily cope with the demands of the toughest races, it does not corrode and have a service life typical of 300,000 kilometers (186,400 miles). Their attachments are painted charcoal gray and emblazoned with the words "Audi ceramic."
