Our take on this /// Verdict
The 2012 Audi R8 V10 is a marvel of engineering that blends raw power with everyday usability, a rare trait in the supercar segment. Driving this car is an exhilarating experience, with its 5.2-liter V10 engine producing 525bhp and propelling the car from 0-62mph in just 3.5 seconds. The quattro all-wheel drive system ensures stability and traction, making it capable of handling various road conditions, including wet roads, with ease. The cars handling is precise and predictable, with the magnetic ride control providing a comfortable ride in normal mode and a sporty feel when needed. However, the V10 Plus variant, while faster, has a harder ride due to its passive damping and beefy suspension setup. Overall, the R8 V10 is a seriously rapid yet approachable supercar that is both thrilling to drive and relatively easy to handle.
Price
In India, the 2012 Audi R8 V10 came with a hefty price tag, reflecting its premium status and the high import duties. The ex-showroom price for the R8 V10 in Delhi was around Rs. 1.96 crore. However, once you factor in the various taxes, registration fees, and other costs, the on-road price would have been significantly higher, likely exceeding Rs. 2.2 crore. This makes the R8 V10 a luxury item that only a select few can afford. Despite the high cost, the cars performance, build quality, and exclusivity make it a compelling choice for those who can indulge in such a purchase.
Latest Updates
Thursday, 21 November 2024 02:10 PM The 2012 Audi R8 V10 saw a significant upgrade with the introduction of the S-tronic dual-clutch transmission, replacing the previous R-tronic automated manual gearbox. This change improved the cars acceleration and reduced CO2 emissions by 22g/km. The V10 engine produced 518bhp, allowing the car to go from 0-62mph in 3.6 seconds. I think this transmission update was a game-changer for the R8s performance and usability.
Friday, 30 October 2020 06:06 AM Audi introduced the R8 Plus in 2012, a flagship model of the R8 series, featuring a 543bhp version of the 5.2-liter V10 engine. This variant was only available as a coupe and included features like a carbon front splitter, rear diffuser, and black-painted details. It could reach 62mph in just 3.5 seconds and had a top speed of 197mph. The R8 Plus was clearly designed for track enthusiasts.
Tuesday, 27 November 2012 12:20 PM The 2012 Audi R8 V10 retained its powerful 5.2 FSI V10 engine, producing 525hp and 391 lb-ft of torque. This engine, borrowed from the Lamborghini Gallardo, was known for its high compression ratio and aluminum block fortified with silicon crystals. The car could accelerate from 0-60mph in 3.7 seconds and had a top speed of 196mph. I believe the V10s performance and sound make it a standout in the supercar segment.

Mileage
Thursday, 21 November 2024 05:11 PM When it comes to mileage, the Audi R8 V10 is not exactly frugal. With a massive V10 engine, fuel efficiency is not its strong suit. In real-world driving conditions in India, you can expect an average mileage of around 4-6 kml, which is typical for a high-performance supercar. Running costs will be high due to the consumption of premium fuel and the occasional need for high-performance tires and maintenance. However, for those who can afford this car, mileage is likely the least of their concerns.
