2022 Audi R8 5.2 quattro V10 performance

Overview
This 2022 Audi R8 V10 Performance quattro blends a race-bred powertrain with a refined, driver-focused luxury cabin. Powered by the naturally aspirated 5.2-liter V10 that produces 602 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque, this R8 Performance delivers immediate response, linear throttle feel and a signature high-revving character. The example presented here is finished in Florett Silver Metallic on the outside with a Black interior accented by Vegas Yellow stitching — a combination that emphasizes the car’s sculpted lines and sporty details. With under 14,000 miles (an average of less than 3,000 miles per year), this R8 is in excellent overall condition and retains the purposeful presence and mechanical freshness expected from a low-mileage exotic.

Powertrain and Chassis

Exterior Design and Lighting
- Finish: Florett Silver Metallic paint highlights the R8’s sculpted aluminum and composite bodywork, creating sharp reflections and a crisp, modern look.
- Aerodynamics: Pronounced side blades, integrated rear diffuser and an aerodynamic rear profile contribute to downforce and high-speed stability while reinforcing the car’s mid-engine layout visually.
