Audi RS5 Sportback is a practical performance offering and packs more power than the first generation R8
It is even more interesting to know that KK traded in an Audi R8 for the new RS5 Sportback. Singer had the first generation R8 in a red color with a black painted blade and the upgrade has come in the form of another red Audi. While the original R8 was a two-seater coupe, the RS5 Sportback is a more practical offering with a usable second row and an even more attractive price tag of ₹1.07 crore (ex-showroom). KK’s R8 appears to be one of the earliest examples and would be nearly a decade old to make now a good time to replace the car. The singer also posted pictures of her prized possession on Instagram a few weeks ago, announcing the move from her garage.
The first generation Audi R8 was offered with a 4.2-litre V8 engine that developed 424 bhp and 430 Nm of peak torque. There was also a 5.2-litre V10 engine offered later with 518 bhp and 530 Nm, while the more performance-focused V10 Plus variant churned out 542 bhp and 540 Nm of peak torque. The V8 version can accelerate from 0-100 kmph in 4.3 seconds, the V10’s count dropped to 3.6 seconds, while the V10 Plus dropped it to 3.5 seconds. Some of the earlier examples of the R8 also came with a gated manual gear shifter.
