The 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro is a V10 variant of the Audi R8 model range.

The biggest difference from the Audi R8 4.2 FSI quattro is the replacement of the V8 for a V10 engine sourced from the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4.

Other differences include a slightly altered body and LED lights. Production of the model was launched in 2008, and underwent a facelift in 2012 along with the introduction of a Plus trim.


Games[]

Need for Speed: World[]

The R8 5.2 FSI quattro was added as a tier 3 vehicle on November 10, 2011 to Need for Speed: World. Since August 22, 2012, it has been featured as an A class vehicle.

It outperforms the the 4.2-litre variant in every performance aspect. The V10 R8 has acceleration as its best trait, since it is comparable to the fastest A class cars in the game including the BMW M1 Procar. Its nitrous boost is above average as well.

It feels responsive in corners and rarely tends to understeer, although a few cars such as the Porsche 991 Carrera S might be better. Its stock top speed is 190 mph (306 km/h).
