Audi R8 Carbon Edition range

2011 Audi R8 Carbon Edition range Car Review

Overview

Audi

AUDI’S R8 supercar may have only been on sale in Australia since late 2007, making it a relative youngster in a world of long supercar model cycles, but Audi is already working on the next-generation car due in 2014, concentrating its efforts on developing a lightweight new aluminium spaceframe construction that should yield significant improvements over the already-epic current model.

In the meantime, just 10 well-heeled Australian Audi fans can while their time behind the wheel of this R8 Carbon Edition, which comprises a package of – you guessed it – carbon-fibre accoutrements and other niceties that can be applied to any R8 variant.

Audi says the package is valued at $38,100 – enough to buy a mid-spec A1 hatch – but the special-edition’s price premium is $10,900, or less than the cost of a Chery J1.

Although they add a level of exclusivity to an already-exclusive car, none of the additions are likely to make much of a difference to how the car drives – but entirely to benefit our readers we took the R8 Carbon Edition for a spin, just to be sure.
