550PS New Audi R8 V10 Plus: 0-100km/h in 3.5 seconds!

Audi’s R8 has been given a tune, dubbed as the Audi R8 V10 Plus, revealing 550PS from its 5.2-litre V10 engine. In comparison, the standard R8 V10 quattro produces 525bhp (532ps) from the same 5.2-litre V10 engine.

0-100km/h (0-62mph) is done in 3.5 seconds now, which was 3.7 seconds previously. At this calibre of performance, a 0.2 second is no easy feat!

 Top speed is now 317km/h (197mph) thanks to its S tronic DSG gearbox, an increment of 4km/h from the already awesome original top speed of 313km/h (196.35mph).
