About the R8 4.2 FSI Quattro Mk I facelift

The 2010 Audi R8 4.2 FSI Quattro Mk I facelift is an all-wheel-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,560 kg with 424 bhp, which works out at 272 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 1.93 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 877th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest tenth, and the 70th quickest of the 1320 Audis here. Its 116.6 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 9 of 11 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Audi R8 4.2 FSI Quattro Mk I facelift 0-60 time?
The Audi R8 4.2 FSI Quattro Mk I facelift reaches 60 mph in 3.78 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 877th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Audi R8 4.2 FSI Quattro Mk I facelift quarter mile time?
12.23 s at 116.6 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 7.91 s and clears the first 60 ft in 1.93 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Audi R8 4.2 FSI Quattro Mk I facelift have?
424 bhp and 1,560 kg, which is 272 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, naturally aspirated, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 302 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Audi R8 4.2 FSI Quattro Mk I facelift?
Closest here on pace: Alpine A110 S Mk II 300 PS (3.71 s), Alpina B3 Biturbo (2013) (3.82 s), Alpina B4 Biturbo (3.77 s). Each one can be raced against the Audi R8 4.2 FSI Quattro Mk I facelift in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Audi R8 4.2 FSI Quattro Mk I facelift is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 9 of its 11 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
