The Audi R8 Coupé was elected "2016 World Performance Car" at the World Car Awards. The ceremony took place during the New York Auto Show.
With a total of four awards, the Audi R8 is the model that has received the most awards in the history of the World Car Awards. The old Audi R8 had already received two awards for its performance and design in this prestigious competition. Now the second generation of Audi's high-performance sports car has managed to convince the international jury of 73 leading automotive journalists. This makes the Audi R8 champion - on the road, as well as on the track. The Audi R8 Coupé offers more performance than any other production model from Audi. The V10 central engine and quattro transmission offer extraordinary new driving performance. The high-end version, with 610 hp (449 kW), allows sprints from 0 to 100 km / h in just 3,2 seconds and has a maximum speed of 330 km / h. Its centrally positioned engine, its concept of coherent light construction and its extremely dynamic suspension with the quattro transmission make the R8 Coupé a truly exceptional car. The genetics of the Audi R8 contain the know-how acquired in numerous victories by the brand in motorsport: sports prototypes have won the 24 Hours of Le Mans 13 times since 2000, and the R8 LMS has contributed to seven other overall victories in 24-hour races since 2009.
