The original R8 launched with this variant, built around a 4.2-litre naturally aspirated FSI V8 producing 525 hp and 530 Nm, driven through a six-speed manual gearbox and the quattro all-wheel-drive system. The 0-100 km/h time of 4.1 seconds was competitive for 2007, and the high-revving character of the V8 became a defining trait of the early R8 identity. It remained in production through 2012, when the mid-cycle update brought revised output figures.
