National Geographic: Ultimate Factories: Audi
A$14.99
The Audi R8 is a masterpiece; a supreme feat of design engineering and automotive genius. Audi design engineers took more than inspiration from their multiple Le Mans winning cars. Compare the R8 with its race-winning parents – the most successful ever – and you’ll notice some distinct similarities. However it’s not just the R8’s stunning looks that make it such a desirable vehicle. Its mighty 4.2-litre FSI V8 engine generates 420PS – enough to propel you from 0-60 mph in 4.6 seconds and on to a top speed of 187mph.
Audi has combined all of its engineering innovations over the last few decades into this one sports car—all wheel drive, an ultra-light aluminum space frame and high-tech fuel injection. It is the embodiment of Vorsprung durch Technik.
Building a car of the R8’s calibre takes time, expertise and an obsessive passion for detail. So a relatively small team of specially selected Audi workers assemble and fit the thousands of precision parts required, mostly by hand, to form the finished R8. Such is the pride in their work that only 29 Audi R8s can be finished in a day.
Go inside the special area of the Audi factory in Neckarsulm, Germany and follow in detail, the crafting of this extraordinary sports car.
