2015 Audi R8 LMX
The
Audi R8 (14,9 – 12,4 l/100 km [15.8 – 19.0 US mpg]; 349 – 289 g CO2 per
km [561.7 – 465.1 g/mile]) is the dynamic, top-of-the-line Audi model.
Its high-revving, mid-mounted engine, double wishbone suspension and ASF
(Audi Space Frame) aluminum body are closely based on racing. The Audi
R8 LMX is available as a coupe with a production run limited to 99
vehicles. With 419 kW (570 hp) and 540 Nm (398.3 lb-ft) of torque, its
5.2 liter, V10 engine accelerates the car from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph)
in just 3.4 seconds. Top speed is 320 km/h (198.8 mph), and average
consumption is 12.9 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers (299 grams CO2 per
kilometer) [18.2 US mpg/481.2 g/mile]. A compact, seven-speed S tronic
transfers the power to the quattro permanent all-wheel drive system.
19-inch wheels are combined with carbon-fiber ceramic brake discs, which
up front measure 380 millimeters (15.0 in) in diameter. Red anodized
brake calipers shine behind the exclusive designer wheels. The R8 LMX is
shod with 235/35 R 19 tires up front and 305/30 R 19 tires at the rear.

With the new laser high beams, one laser module per headlight
generates a cone of light with twice the range of the all-LED headlight.
Each module comprises four high-power laser diodes. With a diameter of
just 300 micrometers, these generate a blue laser beam with a wavelength
of 450 nanometers. A phosphor converter transforms this into roadworthy
white light with a color temperature of 5,500 Kelvin – ideal conditions
for the human eye that enable the driver to recognize contrast more
easily and help prevent fatigue. The laser spot, which is active at
speeds of 60 km/h (37.3 mph) and above, supplements the LED high beam in
the R8 LMX and greatly enhances visibility and safety. An intelligent
camera-based sensor system detects other road users and actively adjusts
the light pattern to exclude them.
