It might look like the same Audi R8 that was launched in 2007, but that’s where the similarities end.

This new R8 has two more cylinders and a little more grunt than the old Audi R8, thanks to a Lamborghini-sourced V10 engine that sends 525 horsepower to all four wheels via a sophisticated quattro all-wheel-drive system.

The Result is a zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) sprint in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 316 km/h (196.35 mph).
