Audi R8

Using their experience in racing over the years Audi has developed the R8. It has since become the most successful car ever to compete in the Le Mans with 5 wins, and has won a total of 62 out of the 79 races it’s entered.

Audi was the first car company to make their cars out of aluminum, and as with all the other things about Audi, this is constantly refined. The R8 features a high strength Audi Space Frame made from aluminum and magnesium developed specifically for the R8.

Another innovation used is the liquid in the struts. Instead of conventional damper oil, the shocks are filled with a special fluid whose viscosity can be controlled by an electromagnetic field.

The car also features a innovative high rev concept. As a result of this, the engine develops huge thrust over a broad speed band up to 8250 rpm’s.
