Every Audi R8 is subject to a 25-mile public road test before delivery

This evaluation was only done for Audi’s supercar naturally aspirated.

The is an exceptional car. Not only in Audi’s lineup but across the automotive industry. It’s a rare car in an era of supercars that have forced induction or electrified powertrains. The naturally aspirated V10 engine is a rarity. The German marque now revealed a unique tidbit about the R8: each car must undergo public road testing.

An Audi official stated that technicians will be driving the new R8 on public roads to evaluate any issues and then deliver the car to its owner. The high-performance car was manufactured in Neckarsulm (Germany) and undergoes a 40 km (25 mile) public road test to ensure it is in top condition.

Future owners shouldn’t be concerned about having their valuable possessions damaged by dents or other defects. The R8’s most sensitive parts are wrapped in wrap. Audi technicians will test the supercar in rain or shine, so it doesn’t matter if it rains.

This is Audi’s only model that has been subject to the extra quality control testing. It’s also the most expensive model available. Pricing can reach up to $208,100 for V10 Plus Spyder. Let’s not forget that there was also an extremely expensive Etron version. The all-electric machine sold in Europe for just a year and cost EUR1 million (current exchange rates = €1.13M). Audi decided to end the production of less than 100 units.

The R8 received an effective, subtle refresh this month. The R8 received an increase in power, now at 612 horsepower. This was accompanied by a more aggressive and sharper design. The R8 V10 Performance Coupe is the fastest and most powerful of all the cars. It can sprint from 0 to 62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.1 seconds, and can reach a maximum speed of 205.7 miles (331 km/h).
