The Features of an Audi R8
Founded in 1909, Audi is the luxury division of German auto manufacturing giant Volkswagen, producing model types from super-mini compact sportscars to medium-sized crossover sport utility vehicles. Though the Audi R8 began production in 2000 as a race car, a road-modified version was introduced in 2006. It utilizes Audi's quattro all-wheel drive technology and is built using the Lamborghini Gallardo platform as its basis.
