New Audi R8 in 2014

In an interview published this week-end, Michael Dick, Board Member and manager responsible for technical development at Audi, put forward the first information on the next generation of the Audi R8.
As announced to the next Audi Q7, the Audi R8 was the subject of a serious slimming diet. In all lose around 220 pounds in its structure compared to the current model, due to the use of a mixture of aluminum and carbon fiber chassis.

"We want the maximum weight reduction and maintain maximum rigidity," confirms Dick, confessing that more than meet targets for fuel economy, the decision to apply these materials is related to cost reduction.
The weight loss also extends the car's suspension, transmission and bodywork. Is expected to increase torsional stiffness 30%, improving the agility and maneuverability of the model. The Audi R8 promises, thus be lighter than the Ferrari 458 Italia and Lamborghini Aventator. The question is whether the model from Ingolstadt can have a weight less than the rival Porsche 911. The Audi R8 is in production since 2006 and this facelift, to be introduced in 2014, eanonce big changes, but for now, nothing is confirmed officially.

Much of the automotive press has released their reviews on the new McLaren F1, presented to the press in the circuit of Portimao, Portugal. The result was a consensus about the qualities of the McLaren F1 which should have left Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini worried.

The car is equipped with a 3.8 liter V8 biturbo designed by McLaren in partnership with Ricardo, mounted in central position with rear wheel drive and seven-speed gearbox, double clutch.
For a price similar to the Ferrari 458 Italia, the MP4-12C is more powerful (600 horses from 570), has more torque (61.2 Nm versus 55) and weighs less (3155 lbs  versus 5467 lbs).

Regarding the competition, the untouchable McLaren F1, it is better in all measurements (acceleration from 0 to 60 miles / h in 3.3 seconds, decreasing to 3.1 with Pirelli Corsa tires, and 0 to 120 miles / h in 9.1 seconds ). The only exception is the top speed of 205 mph, lower than the 240 mph of his ancestor.

Beyond the numbers, which the journalists of the Car, Autocar, Autoblog, Evo and Inside Line was actually praised the behavior of the car on the track.
Three main features have helped: the solid rigidity of the cell monocoque carbon fiber, the incredible grip of the suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers operating assets (read here a complete analysis and illustrated by Inside Line), and the novel braking system that analyzes the decision-curve slightly to stop the wheel from the inside and encourage oversteer (rear output), instead of understeer.
