Audi R8
The Audi R8 has been in production for almost four years now, so it is certainly time for the convertible version to make its debut. The Audi R8 convertible has been spied on the set of Iron Man 2 being driven by Robert Downey Jr. in California. The car is set to debut later this month at the Frankfurt Auto Show.
A 10 cylinder engine is expected to debut in the uber Audi for 2010, so we can expect improved performance figures over the current V8 powered Audi R8. The Audi R8 currently produces 420 horsepower which it sends to all four wheels through a six speed manual transmission and will reach 187 mph. The V10 should be able to push the R8's top speed closer to 200 mph.
Celebrities that have been seen driving the R8 like Robert Downey Jr, Jay Leno, Seal, Reggie Bush, Hugh Grant, Jimmy Rollins and Zac Efron.
Audi A5, Audi R8 Sales Increase
Audi today announced sales for the month of January totaling 4,722 units, a decrease from record January sales in 2008. Audi predicts its share of the U.S. luxury vehicle market will increase when all January 2009 sales reports come in compared to year-earlier results.
The Audi A5 posted a 76.3% increase over last January with 603 units sold in January 2009. The Audi R8 broke its January sales record with over 107 units sold, an increase of 75.4% over January's sales a year ago.
Despite the challenging market, Audi Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) sales increased over this time last year, with 2,599 units sold this January.
