R8 Exterior Style Features

The unmistakable face of the R8
Irrefutable elegance
The Audi R8 Coupé's striking silhouette makes a clear, bold statement the moment you see it. It's elegant. Assured. Poised. And athletic.

The prominent single-frame grille and LED lights contribute to the striking visual impact of the car's composition. And the multiple fins on the sports air intakes, while totally functional for cooling the R8's mechanical components, are designed with panache, flair and style.

The R8 pushes the boundaries of Vorsprung durch Technik like never before.

Side Blades
A design feature with style and functionality
The side blades are a distinguishing feature of the Audi R8 Coupé in contrasting colour or optionally Oxygen Silver or Carbon Sigma.

And they're not just for show. The exaggerated form is fully functional, scooping fresh air into the engine and cooling the brakes, helping to the maintain optimal running temperature.

Alloy wheels
There are two sets of alloy wheels to choose from, depending on your preference.

19" 5-arm double-spoke design alloy wheels in high-gloss finish (optional)

19" 5-arm double-spoke design alloy wheels in titanium finish (optional)

All LED Headlights
Positively illuminating
The Audi R8 Coupé is the first production vehicle in the world to be available with all-LED headlights as an option. They're brighter, give more contrast and emit a light similar to daylight so are less tiring on your eyes, Each headlight features an array of 54 LED light sources, which are much more efficient than halogen, the bulbs last longer and they consume less energy.

Retractable rear spoiler
More downforce when required
As the Audi R8 Coupé exceeds 74mph, an automatic and electronically operated spoiler lifts at the tail end. This creates additional downforce which means safer handling and more assured road holding.
