This test video is dedicated to an Audi R8 armed with a 4.2-liter V8. The engine conveys torque to both axles thanks to Quattro AWD, but the best part is that the car uses a manual transmission like the one in the Lamborghini Gallardo.
The naturally aspirated eight-banger is installed behind the seats and produces 424 PS (418 hp / 312 kW) and 430 Nm (317 lb-ft) of torque. Thanks to there being no speed limit on the German highway, you can learn everything you ever wanted to learn about its performance.
The V8 produces an especially enchanting sound when it revs up all the way to 8,000 RPM, and the gearbox complements it nicely with clearly audible shifts. In the end, the car reaches 263 km/h (163.4 mph) without breaking any laws.
