The range-topping model accelerates in a mere 3.2 seconds from rest to 62 mph and keeps going to its maximum speed of 205 mph. The sound of the naturally aspirated V10 engine, whose maximum torque is available at 6,500 rpm, has become even fuller and sharper.
A seven-speed S tronic transmission and a newly developed quattro drive system transmit the power to the road.
The distribution of the drive torque is highly adaptable to prevailing driving conditions; in extreme cases, 100% of the torque can be transmitted to the front or rear axle.
The new performance mode in the Audi drive select dynamic handling system enables adaptation of the most important ride dynamics parameters to the friction coefficient of the road.
