What about the Audi A7 and R8? Please, thank you

Audi A7: As a concept model of Audi's new generation of luxury coupe sedan, the Audi A7 (** parameter ** forum) Sportback came to the Audi China showroom in a low-key manner. The Audi A7 Sportback is a concept car released at the North American Auto Show, and its production version will be presented to us at this year's Paris Motor Show.

The wheelbase of the A7 Sportback is close to that of the A6 without lengthening, and the concept car is powered by a V6 TDI engine with a maximum power of about 225 horsepower and a maximum torque of 550 Nm. The concept model is mated to a seven-speed Tiptronic gearbox. The quattro all-wheel drive system ensures that power is delivered to every wheel accurately.

The concept car weighs 1,800 kg and has a drag coefficient that can accelerate from a standstill to a speed of 100 km/h in less than 7 seconds, and the top speed can reach 245 km/h. Audi R8: The Audi R8 supercar has an extremely attractive driving feel, making it one of the best sports cars in the Audi brand.

The all-wheel drive system and Audi's all-aluminium body space frame structure give it an outstanding power performance. The Audi R8 is a production model based on the Audi Le Mans Quattro Concept, inspired and inspired by the Audi R8 Le Mans championship car, the Audi R8 supercar combines many of Audi's groundbreaking technologies and designs, and is the perfect interpretation of Audi's breakthrough brand essence and century-old sports DNA.

The A7 will only be launched at the Paris Motor Show in the second half of the year, and the R8 is the pinnacle of Audi's production.

The Audi R8 is Audi's first mass-produced mid-engine supercar based on the Lamborghini Gallardo development platform. The Audi R8 has won numerous honours on the former racing track, whether it is five consecutive championships from 2000 to 2005 or 63 victories in 80 races. However, it is now facing the situation of discontinuation due to poor sales and other reasons, which can be described as unnoticed.

The reason for the discontinuation of Audi R8 is related to its sales, from April last year to March this year, the cumulative sales of Audi R8 in the Chinese market are 103 units, and in the US market, Audi R8 sales are also cold, and the same family of Audi TT can also rank 21st in the sports car sales list with 2294 annual sales, while Audi R8 is completely missing. Such a result must not make Audi officials re-examine the future of the R8.

Why doesn't anyone buy an Audi R8? It is undeniable that the Audi R8 on the track has indeed won the respect of the world for its excellent dynamic performance, but the production version of the R8 has lost its past track glory at Le Mans, and the wheel performance is not outstanding compared to its rivals in the same class. And since the birth of the R8, it has been burdened with doubts, such as "changing the shell of Lamborghini", "not being able to outrun the GTR", "it is better to buy a 911", etc.

Considering the price of Audi R8 of nearly 2 million, in China, the people who drive Audi R8 are generally some young rich second generation or high-income people, to put it bluntly, the consumer group is relatively niche. The super power and operability of sports cars have never been the mainstream demand of Chinese consumption, so it is not surprising that the Audi R8 will be cold in China. Even a supercar tycoon like Ferrari is seeking to develop in the SUV field, which shows that supercars are not very mixed in China.

On the other hand, although the reason why the Audi R8 has fallen to no one to sell is also because of the problem of brand influence, although the R8's racing pedigree is undoubted, but in the sports car world, people prefer to favor legendary brands such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, etc., while Audi does not leave much impression on people, at most it is a luxury car manufacturer.

Before the Audi R8, there was actually a negative example, and that was the Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS, which was discontinued in 2014. As one of the few gullwing door sports cars, equipped with a V8 engine and a maximum horsepower of 631, Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS is indeed a full "beast", but the price of 300-4 million is prohibitive, coupled with a small audience and no sports car cultural support, in the end, it can only leave its back.

The negative case is Mercedes-Benz AMG SLS, while the positive case is Porsche, which, unlike Audi, has a long racing pedigree and no one has ever questioned Porsche's place in the supercar world. Whether it's the 911 series or the Boxster, Porsche's sports cars have always been among the top in international sales. Why is there such a big gap between Porsche's supercars and Audi?

In fact, in addition to the supercar culture we mentioned above, there is also the fact that Porsche has lowered its own entry barrier, and it is best to describe Porsche's sports car as a "civilian supercar".

Because this car is too cost-effective, well, it's not that good, so it's not good in the people's reputation.

There is a suspicion of grandstanding in the urine, R8 has been reduced to a comparison with A6, A6, a family to buy grocery cars, of course, cost-effective After all, the positioning is ordinary people R8's positioning is not the same Supercar level is originally the competition of the brand In front of Ferrari and Rambo, Audi is obviously a much weaker brand Plus** is not cheap without Porsche, naturally not welcomed.

Because its cost performance is not very high, people do not rate it so highly.

Because the R8 is no longer able to find the track glory of Le Mans, the wheel performance is not outstanding compared to its rivals in the same class.

Why is the configuration and power of Hongqi L5 inferior to the Rolls-Royce Phantom, and it is still blown into the sky by the Chinese people???

**High, low performance, and the Audi A6 has a good reputation among the masses.

Because of the Audi A6. than the Audi R8. More cost-effective and cost-effective.

Because the Audi A6 is a classic, just like the Apple 6P

It is not reasonable to use his ** side. And the performance is not so good. Not cost-effective.

Because it's very high, and it's not cost-effective.

Because the Audi R8 has less practical performance after all.

The most satisfying point] of acceleration.

The least satisfying point] Trunk space.

Space] is okay.

Power] Strong.

Handling] Flexible.

Fuel consumption] is higher.

Comfort] strong.

Appearance] Stylish and dynamic.

Interior] fine.

Other descriptions] The Audi R8 has a sleek and sporty appearance, but the wide tail is slightly bulky; The interior is finely made, rich in configuration, and the design of many details is more humanized; As a race car, the R8 performs well in terms of space, with more space behind the seats, but less trunk space; The power is relatively strong, and the acceleration time of 100 kilometers is short; The handling performance is good, the body stability is good, and the cornering performance is more prominent; Abundant security configurations and high security; The comprehensive fuel consumption is higher; The price is high and the maintenance cost is high!! The appearance is more fashionable and dynamic, the side lines are too smooth, the tail is relatively wide, slightly clumsy and heavy, if only there was a spoiler!! The workmanship is more fine, the configuration is richer, and the steering wheel and center console have more details and the design is more humane!!

The boot space is smaller, but the space behind the seats is more than enough to make up for it! The power is relatively strong, and the acceleration time of 100 km/h is short, my favorite place! The handling performance is good, the high-speed body is relatively stable, the cornering performance is more prominent, the chassis is more solid, and the overall control is more flexible.

The assembly process is better, the body is more solid, the configuration is richer, and the design of the details is more humanized.

Audi's after-sales outlets are still relatively comprehensive, but some people feel that the supply of spare parts for R8 is slow and the maintenance is not very convenient. It may also be the reason for imports!! Good things have to be ordered from abroad, and if they are shipped over, the time will naturally be very long!

If there is one right away, I'm worried about whether it's an imported one!!

Did this word of mouth help you? Helpful.

The car is good, but it is hard to say what it will be used for.

Audi R888V8 Okay.

For the first thoroughbred sports car in the history of Audi R8, all the modification car manufacturers have done their best, using R8 as the best platform to show their own modification strength, following ABT, APR and PP1 have all launched kits, the German tuning manufacturer MTM launched the modification strength, absolutely the first!

For the R8, MTM maintains the original V8 engine and adds a twin-turbo system, and strengthens the cooling system and engine internal parts, so that the maximum horsepower has been increased from the original 420HP to 888 HP in one fell swoop, in addition to more than doubling the horsepower, the peak torque is even higher, so that the R8 built by MTM can complete the 0-96KMH acceleration process in 3 seconds, and the top speed can reach 360KMH!

This is not the first time that MTM has implanted twin-turbo charging, and I still remember the TT Bimoto built by MTM before, the same twin-turbo system allowed TT to set a top speed record of 393km h, showing MTM's outstanding achievements in the field of turbocharging systems.

At the moment, there is still a limited amount of information about the R8, but it has been reported that the MTM may be named the R888 to show off its powerful performance.
