Not Your Brother’s R8 – The Audi R8 for 2008
The restyled R8 Base is equipped with a Volkswagen 4.2-liter 8-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 32 valves. The engine is paired with a Volkswagen 6-speed transaxle. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Audi.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The R8 has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. The car uses coil front springs and coil in the rear.
R8 Base Statistics
The R8 is 174.50 inches long, 75.00 inches wide, and 49.30 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 104.30 inches. It is able to seat 2 comfortably.
The standard warranty period for the R8 is 48 months, or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 48 months or 50,000 miles respectively. This is standard in the coupe market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.
The listed retail price in 2008 (MSRP) was $109,000, with an invoice cost of $101,370. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 2008 R8 is a traditional Bosch Motronic, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 23.80 gallons.
The 2008 R8 gets 20 miles/gallon on the highway and only 13 in the city. This is average for a coupe car.
Conclusion
The 2008 model year was unsuccessful for the Audi R8. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Base version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
