The R8 is Audi’s two-seat, mid-engine sports car that incorporates technology from Audi’s Le Mans-winning R8 prototype to build on its racing success for the street. The Audi R8 sports car begins with the classic wide, low stance of a mid-engine exotic but the design is dominated by a signature design element, the “Blade” of carbon fiber on each side, behind the door and in front of the rear wheel—that runs from the roof at an angle over the side air intakes to the rocker panel.
