Supreme sports cars such as the Audi R8
need to balance exhilaration with
reassurance. It achieves this – and more –
thanks to a standard specification that
offers superior safety: large-size,
ventilated brakes; the ESP 8.0 Electronic
Stability Program; the robust occupant
cell surrounded by energy-absorbing zones
and numerous electronic assistance
systems.
The chance of a whiplash
injury in a rear collision is reduced
thanks to active head restraints. They
automatically deploy forwards to cushion
backward momentum of the head. This
feature is fully adjustable for maximum
comfort.
Brake
System
8-piston fixed callipers on the front axle
and 4-piston fixed callipers on the rear
axle give the Audi R8 supreme stopping
power and directional stability.
Xenon headlights
Bi-Xenon headlights with LED
daytime running lights and LED rear lights
assist the driver at night, or when
visibility is poor, and gives the R8 its
distinctive look.
Seat Belts
In the event of a crash
(including from behind or side-on), belt
tensioners promptly bring the belt much
closer to the occupant’s body, reducing the
risk of injuries.
Electronic
stabilisation
The Electronic Stability
Program, ESP 8.0 - configured in three modes
for the first time - offers high driving
safety and vehicle stability.
