In order to deliver better stability the car not only received a new suspension system that lowers the car by 25 millimeters, but also gets a new rear air diffuser. A new exhaust system is used for a better sound of the engine. The body kit of the vehicle includes carbon fiber mirror covers and front lip spoiler. What is really special at this car is the custom body paint and the custom 22 inch wheels which complement the kit.

It’s hard to go unnoticed in Audi’s R8, something that has become abundantly clear to us in the short time a Mugello blue coupe has been in our Four Seasons fleet. But what if you want onlookers to notice who’s in the R8 as well?

For that, it looks like Audi’s Spaceship-meets-Gallardo will need to lose its top. Judging by these spy shots, the convertible R8 will feature a folding soft top and some additional exterior modifications.
The first thing we notice on this flat-black prototype is the absence of the R8 coupe’s so-called side blades. Available in contrasting colors and optional carbon fiber on the hardtop, the panels have given way to larger rear intakes that now begin well aft of the doors. Both the front and rear fascias have been revised and feature fewer slats in their air apertures - those below the headlights feature two, and those under the taillights have three - which is in line with the semi-bonkers R8 TDI concept that Audi showed this year. The exhaust note will emanate from dual ovoid outlets instead of the quad tips found on the coupe. All of these changes could also carry over to the coupe as part of a mid-cycle refresh
Though the engine is mounted just behind the occupants in the current fixed-roof R8, the sound doesn’t permeate the firewall as much as we’d like. This droptop version should cure that, sending the mighty V-8’s song in every direction. We just hope the reworked engine cover doesn’t muffle the symphony too much.
Rearward visibility will likely be improved in top-up configuration, since the rear window will be much further forward. With the top down, any blind spots should be eliminated, allowing the occupants to see out as well as be seen.
Since this model hasn’t been officially confirmed, we don’t yet know what the model designator will be. What it could be called: Cabriolet, Roadster, or Convertible. Audi has historically used the Cabriolet moniker for its four-place droptops (A4) and Roadster for the two seaters (TT) so, following that logic, Roadster is the most likely choice. What it probably won’t be called: Targa, Spider/Spyder. There are two other brands within Audi’s extended family that have already laid claim to these badges - Porsche with the 911 Targa, and Lamborghini with the Gallardo and Murciélago Spyder. It’s not likely that Porsche will loosen its reins on the Targa name, and it’s also unlikely that Audi would steal the Gallardo’s Spyder name since the R8 already borrows heavily enough from that car.

The 2.0 TDI engine delivers 120 hp. The car was driven for 22 hours on average with an average speed of between 73 and 80 km/h (45.36 and 49.71 mph).

The winning team needed just 3.32 liters of diesel fuel per 100 kilometers (70.85 US mpg). This equates to CO2 emissions of only 88 grams per kilometer (141.62 g/mile) – an outstanding figure at an average speed of 74.6 km/h (46.35 mph).

Press release

The second part of the efficiency drive through Austria and Switzerland, like the first, was thoroughly successful: 20 randomly selected readers of a motoring magazine and a team of two from Audi once again fully exploited the efficiency potential of the new Audi A4 2.0 TDI with an output of 88 kW (120 hp) in order to drive a route of 1,650 kilometers (1,025.26 miles) from Vienna to Basel and back on a single tank of fuel. All eleven teams reached the finish on Sunday: the most efficient driver duo achieved an average fuel consumption of 3.32 liters of diesel fuel per 100 kilometers (70.85 US mpg). This equates to CO2 emissions of 88 grams per kilometer (141.62 g/mile). With these figures, it would even have been possible to cover a distance of over 2,000 kilometers (1242.74 miles).

This achievement once again topped the outstanding result of the first part of the efficiency drive from Basel to Vienna and back. The winning team of that round, which also lasted 1,650 kilometers (1,025.26 miles), had recorded an average fuel consumption of 3.44 liters per 100 kilometers (68.38 US mpg) and CO2 emissions of 91 grams per kilometer (146.45 g/mile). This, however, was at a higher average speed of 81.4 km/h (50.58 mph).

With full concentration from beginning to end and outstanding levels of enthusiasm, the participants in fact managed to surpass the very high expectations. After a total driving time of 22 hours on average with an average speed of between 73 and 80 km/h (45.36 and 49.71 mph), the white Audi A4 cars reached their destination. It thus became clear just what potential there is in the driver’s foot for reducing fuel consumption.

The new two-liter TDI engine provides ideal conditions for economical driving. With a combined consumption figure of just 5.1 liters per 100 kilometers (46.12 US mpg) and CO2 emissions of only 134 grams per kilometer (215.65 g/mile), the efficiency of the sportiest midsize sedan is simply outstanding. At the same time, the A4 is always capable of bringing the impressive dynamism that distinguishes every Audi onto the road.

However, participants in the Audi efficiency competition significantly bettered even these impressive combined consumption figures. The winning team needed just 3.32 liters of diesel fuel per 100 kilometers (70.85 US mpg). This equates to CO2 emissions of only 88 grams per kilometer (141.62 g/mile) – an outstanding figure at an average speed of 74.6 km/h (46.35 mph). Five teams achieved under 3.45 liters (over 68.18 US mpg). But even the Audi in eleventh place recorded an impressive average fuel consumption of 3.50 liters (67.20 US mpg).

To achieve these extremely low figures, the teams had the air conditioning switched off nearly all the time. However, considering the amount of fuel left in the tanks of the eleven Audi A4 cars at the end, it would certainly have been possible to enjoy the comfort of the high-performance, ultra-efficient automatic air conditioning as well.
