Audi AG unveiled the Audi R8 V10 on the 9th of December 2008. It uses a 5.2 litre FSI internal combustion engine, based on the unit in the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, but is detuned to produce a motive power output of 386 kilowatts (525 PS; 518 bhp), and generate 530 newton metres (391 ft·lbf) of torque. Compared to the Audi V8 variant, the R8 V10's performance numbers are enhanced as a result. Audi estimates the new 0-100 kilometres per hour (62 mph) time as only 3.9 seconds, 60-124 mph in 8.1 seconds, and a top speed of 196 mph (315.4 km/h). Other changes to the Audi V10 version of the Audi R8 include some aesthetic differences such as all-LED headlights, interior enhancements, and a more aggressive body styling, larger rear brakes and unique roadwheels.
It was initially thought that this version of the Audi R8 was going to have the same engine as the C6 Audi RS6, a 5.0 litre V10 TFSI 'biturbo' engine, which produces 580 PS (427 kW; 572 bhp). However, some components of the twin-turbo system overheated, and one prototype was destroyed by fire at the Nürburgring. This model is showing at the 2009 North American International Auto Show. This version of the Audi R8 appears in the trailers and box art of the upcoming Xbox 360 racing game, Forza Motorsport 3.
