Audi could launch in the coming months an RS version of the R8 model. The information was presented by AutoExpress, an online magazine specialized in news about the auto technology. The extreme alternative will have a modified and it will benefit of a range of solutions to reduce the total mass.
Although Audi released a version of V10, for those who wanted a pure supercar branded by Audi, the manufacturer in Ingolstadt plans to build further the success of the current . The sports model could enjoy in future of an extreme version, able to carry the name of thep erformance division, which is SR.
To play at this level, the supercar will need a modified version of the V10 engine, capable of delivering at least 600 horsepower. The increasing of the baggage resources will be complemented by an intensive program to reduce the total mass.
Spy images, recently captured in a gas station near the Nurburgring circuit, show a prototype that strongly confirms the new version of R8. The model has some aerodynamic improvements (an extension made of carbon fiber located in front, new sides, a redesigned rear aileron and a new deflector), an exhaust system incorporated into the rear spoiler and another engine housing.
To cope with the new power input, RS R8 will have a set of more rigid suspension and a disc brake system with bigger discs. Although no official information has released in this respect, we can expect that the new version will give up the quattro wheel drive for a rear propulsion for some more thrills, but also for 100 kilograms in minus.
The interior will also be simplified because of the total mass reduction and the customers will enjoy and minimum comfort facilities.
