Audi India has now launched the new top of the line Audi R8 V10 Plus variant of its flagship super car in India, which is the most powerful trim of the car. Launched in style at the famous Buddh International Circuit (BIC) Noida, the new Audi R8 V10 Plus has been priced at Rs 2.05 crore (ex-showroom, New Delhi).
Audi launched the new 2013 Audi R8 in January 2013 in a total three variants- R8 V8 coupe, R8 V10 coupe and R8 V10 Spyder, priced at Rs 1.34 crore, Rs 1.57 crore and Rs 1.73 crore (ex-showroom, Delhi) respectively. And in the form of R8 V10 Plus, the supercar receives its fourth and the most powerful variant.
The prices of the all three variants have however been revised due to hike in import duties (2013 Union budget). So the R8 V10 Coupe which was launched at Rs 1.57 crore, now costs around Rs 1.81 crore. So the price of the new R8 V10 plus seems justified.
The R8 V10 plus houses the similar Lamborghini sourced 5.2-litre V10 engine, which also does its duty to the R8 Spyder and the R8 V10 Coupe, however it has been tuned for more power in the V10 plus variants. The engine now promises to return a whooping 550bhp and a peak torque of 540Nm, making it 25bhp and 10Nm more powerful than the R8 Spyder and V10 coupe. Mated to a 7-speed S-Tronic gearbox, the V10 Plus has the capability to touch the 0-100kmph mark in mere 3.5 seconds with a peak speed of 317kmph.
