Audi > R8 WLTP, MPG, Fuel consumption

In this review, we are going to take a closer look at the Audi R8. We will examine the details about the Audi R8 under three main categories such as The Features of the Audi R8, The Fuel Consumption of the Audi R8 and Does It Suit You? These categories prepared for explaining the vehicle from any perspective. Before beginning the review, I would like to share some general information about the history of the Audi R8. The R8 is a mid-engine sports car produced by the German automobile manufacturer Audi under the umbrella of the Volkswagen Group. Developed exclusively by Audi's Sports department, the car first appeared in 2006. Although the Lamborghini platform design was used in the base platform of the car, the transition to concept design and production has inspired by the Audi Le Mans Quattro model. Although it has a short history of two generations, the R8 left a deep mark among sports cars with its unique aerodynamic design and high performance.

The Features of the Audi R8

In this part of the review, we are going to focus on the features of the Audi R8. We can start with the exterior design of the Audi R8. When we look at the exterior design features of the new generation R8, we encounter a visual renewal that is not radical but affects the style of the car more than expected. When we look at the first designs, we can say that a much more curved and smooth design concept prevails. This design has created using aluminium material as one of the important representatives of Audi's famous "Space Frame" concept. Over time, with the current generation, this trend seems to have left its place to a design approach full of aggressive and sharp lines. The aerodynamic lines in the front have become sharper. One of the first cars to use all of its headlights as LED, the R8 is one of the pioneers of the new generation in this field. The LED headlights, which look very aesthetic, look very striking. Now, we are moving on to the interior design of the Audi R8. If we have to interpret the interior design, we can say that Audi's design team has done a very high-quality job. The first detail that catches the eye in the cabin is the steering wheel structure, which has prepared with fine craftsmanship. The steering wheel of the R8 is reminiscent of the steering wheels of professional racing cars. All mechanisms, from the engine start button to various controls, are carefully placed on the steering wheel. Apart from that, although the centre console does not have any multimedia screen, the digital instrument panel eliminates this deficiency. Who would need music when the sound of the engine stopped in a vehicle like this? On the middle panel that separates the driver and passenger, the remaining control mechanisms await you in an orderly and convenient manner.

The Fuel Consumption of the Audi R8

Now, we are going to focus on the fuel consumption of the Audi R8. We usually work on popular engine types and making analyses on them by checking details for an efficient fuel consumption analysis. While choosing the right car, you need specific and simple information. That is why we are using this distinction method to make things easier for you. We use two main categories to make a useful distinction such as The Most Economical One and The Most Powerful One. However, we have got only one official engine data about the Audi R8. It is 5.2 FSI engine type. We are going to analyse it with all details we can give. We can start with the general engine structure of the 5.2 FSI. It has got a ten cylindered and four valved inner structure with a 5204 cm3 size. It is using a Petrol feed fuel system so we can say that it is a Petrol type engine. The engine’s acceleration timing is 3.0 seconds and the maximum speed level is 324 km/h. It can produce 570 HP and 8100 RPM Torque. According to the official factory data, 5.2 FSI has got a 19,0lt/100km (which refers to 15 MPG in the UK) fuel consumption performance in Urban usage. However, this MPG performance decreasing to 9,0lt/100km (which refers to 31 MPG in the UK) in Extra Urban usage such as Highways or Long-Distance Trip. When we combine these two fuel consumption data, we get a 12,0lt/100km (which refers to 24 MPG in the UK) average fuel consumption rate.

Does It Suit You?

To sum up, the Audi R8 is a popular destination for adrenaline and youth seekers with its attractive and extremely sporty design, high performance, and dreamy engine sound. However, if you have a family and your financial situation is not enough to feed a vehicle with high fuel consumption, you need a car that is more economical than the R8 and enough space for your family.
