The Audi R8 V10 Type 42 was the first generation of the Audi R8 with a V10 engine, produced from 2009 to 2015. Based on Audi’s mid-engine platform, this model was initially powered by a 5.2L naturally aspirated V10 engine, producing 525 hp and 391 lb-ft of torque, borrowed from the Lamborghini Gallardo. It was available with Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive system, a 6-speed gated manual transmission, or the optional R-Tronic automated manual transmission. The V10 provided a significant performance boost over the V8 version, reaching 0-60 mph in around 3.7 seconds and offering a top speed of approximately 196 mph.
