With Matt Farah in Sweden driving Volvos, Smoking Tire Editor Zack Klapman steps in to review Audi’s hotter R8 V10 plus and asks if it has what it takes to lure motorists out of their Porsches and Ferraris.
Differences on the plus include CFRP mirrors, side blades, splitter, larger diffuser and adjustable bucket seats. Carbon ceramic brakes come as standard, while the improved output of 404 kW (550 hp) and 540 Nm of torque allows a 3.5 second 0-100 km/h time and a 317 km/h (197 mph) top speed.
