11-18-09 - Audi R8 Wins "Most Wanted" award from Edmunds InsideLine (2nd year in a row)

HERNDON, Va. (December 21, 2009) – The Audi R8 V10 captured the 2010 “Most Wanted” award

from the editors of Edmunds’ InsideLine.com.  As one of six vehicles to win this accolade, it is also the

second time in two years that Audi has won this prestigious award.

·         R8 V10 wins for 2010 in the general free-form category

·         Winning criteria include excellence in speed, luxury, and commuting

·         R8 V8 won in 2008 within the “instant classic” category

In August 2009, a newly introduced engine variant for the R8 went on sale with a 525 hp V10 FSI direct injection, making a rare sports car once again eligible for another round of “Most Wanted” votes.  The R8 once again raised the bar for performance and refinement in the supercar category and attracted the attention of enthusiasts of a new kind – the gaming industry.  Featured prominently as the star of the Forza Motorsport 3® for XBOX 360®, its quattro® all-wheel drive propels the vehicle from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds for both the manual and single-clutch R tronic transmissions.
