What Car Has a 8.9l V8 Dsc?

The Audi R8 is a mid-engine, 2-seater sports car, which uses Audi's "Quattro" all-wheel drive system. It was introduced by the German car manufacturer Audi AG in 2006.

The car is exclusively designed, developed, and manufactured by Audi AG's high performance private subsidiary company, Audi Sport GmbH (formerly quattro GmbH), and is based on the Lamborghini Gallardo platform. The fundamental construction of the R8 is based on the Audi Space Frame, and uses an aluminium monocoque which is built using space frame principles. The car is built by the Audi subsidiary Lamborghini at its facility in Sant'Agata Bolognese, Italy.

The R8 development program began in 2004, Lamberty's first sketches of the car were drawn in February 2005. The Audi design team, led by Walter de'Silva, then created a clay model of the car in May 2005. This was followed by the unveiling of the Audi "le Mans quattro" concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2005. The le mans quattro concept car differed from the production R8 in a number of ways, such as lacking rear side windows, mirror-integrated turn signals and door handles, rear diffuser and dual exhaust Tailpipes.

The R8 went into production in 2007, with deliveries starting in June of that year. The R8 was officially launched at the Paris Motor Show in October 2007.

The production version of the R8 has a 5.2 litre FSI (Fuel Stratified Injection) V10 engine, derived from the Lamborghini Gallardo's engine, which produces 420 kilowatts (560 PS; 553 hp) at 7,800 revolutions per minute (RPM) and 540 Newton metres (398 lbf·ft) at 6,500 RPM. The engine is mated to an Audi "R-tronic" six-speed sequential manual transmission that can be operated via paddles on the steering wheel.

The V10 engine has a compression ratio of 12.5:1 and revs to 8,700 RPM. It delivers 29.4 miles per US gallon (8.11 L/100 km; 35.3 mpg‑imp) in the EU combined cycle.

The R8 has a double wishbone suspension setup at the front and rear.

There is no definitive answer to this question as it depends on a number of factors, including the type of vehicle, the terrain, the weather conditions and the driver's skill level. The Guinness World Records lists the highest recorded speed for a land vehicle as763.035mph (1,228.08 km/h), set by Andy Green in the ThrustSSC on 15 October 1997. However, this is an anomalous result as it was achieved on a flat, dry stretch of desert road with ideal conditions. In more typical driving conditions, such as on a wet or icy road, the top speed is likely to be much lower.

Some high-performance cars are capable of reaching speeds in excess of 200mph (320km/h). However, the vast majority of drivers are not experienced enough to handle a car at these speeds and the risks involved are significant. Exceeding the speed limit is also illegal in most countries and can result in a fine or even a prison sentence.

In conclusion, the top speed depends on a number of factors but is generally much lower than the fastest cars are capable of. Drivers should always be aware of the dangers of driving at high speeds and obey the speed limit.

The curb weight is the total weight of a vehicle with standard equipment, all necessary operating consumables such as motor oil and coolant, and a full tank of fuel, while not loaded with either passengers or cargo. In simpler terms, it is the total weight of the car with everything it needs to run, but nothing more. The term is most commonly used in reference to automobiles and trucks. The curb weight is important because it is used to determine many other weights of a vehicle, such as its gross vehicle weight, axle weights, and maximum payload capacity.
