New Audi R8 Limited Edition Celebrates 10 Le Mans Victories


Audi has w?rked up a special edition version ?f the c?mpany's R8 to c?mmemorate the German aut?maker's victories at Le Mans. P?wered by the same 430 h?rsepower, 4.2-liter V8 found in the base c?upe, the R8 V8 Limited Edition m?dels are available with special titanium-effect paint with titanium-toned wheels t? match.

Those r?llers are 19-inch double Y-sp?ke bits that were crafted in the spitting image ?f the hardware found ?n the R8 GT Coupe.
Buyers can als? expect t? find a set of red brake calipers tucked behind the wheels. All ?f the company's standard metallic and pearl effect paint ?ptions will also be available ?n the commem?rative cars.
Inside, the R8 V8 Limited Edition c?mes with satellite navigation and Audi Music Interface with a Bang and Olufsen s?und system as well as a unique interior lighting package and Bluet?oth hands-free calling. Prices start at �93,935 in the UK.
That figure translates t? around $150,000 (including Britain's c?stly Value Added Tax), though there's n? clear indication as t? whether or not any ?f the 100 examples will make their way t? the States or how much Audi will ask U.S. buyers t? pay.
