A white Audi R8 mid-engine 2-seater super sports car travelling along the Kingsway West dual carriageway in Dundee, UK
The Audi R8 is a mid-engine, 2-seater super car which uses Audi's trademark Quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. It was introduced by the German automaker Audi AG in 2006. The car is exclusively designed, developed, and manufactured by Audi AG's high performance private subsidiary company, Quattro GmbH, and is based on the Lamborghini Gallardo platform. The car is built by Quattro GmbH in a newly renovated factory at Audi's 'aluminum site' at Neckarsulm in Germany. In 2005, Audi announced that the name of the successful Audi R8 race car would be used for a new road car in 2007, the Audi R8, based on the Audi Le Mans Quattro concept car (designed by Frank Lamberty and Julian Hoenig), appearing at the 2003 International Geneva Motor Show, and 2003 Frankfurt International Motor Show.
