Audi R8 4.2 FSi Quattro

The Audi R8 4.2 FSI Quattro is a vehicle available in Midnight Club: Los Angeles. It can be obtained by completing all Social Club missions before June 2014. However, since the servers were shut down, it can no longer be obtained.

Description
The Audi R8 is a mid-engine, 2-seater sports car, which uses Audi's trademark quattro permanent all-wheel drive system. It was introduced by the German automaker Audi AG in 2006. The car was exclusively designed, developed, and manufactured by Audi AG's high performance private subsidiary company, quattro GmbH, and is based on the Lamborghini Gallardo platform. The fundamental construction of the R8 is based on the Audi Space Frame, and uses an aluminium monocoque which is built using space frame principles.

The Audi R8 was initially equipped with a 4.2 litre V8 engine. Specifically, it is an all-aluminium alloy 32-valve (four valves per cylinder) petrol engine, utilising Fuel Stratified Injection (FSI), and has a displacement of 4,163 cubic centimetres (254.0 cu in). It develops a motive power output of 420 metric horsepower (309 kW; 414 bhp) (Directive 80/1269/EEC), and generates 430 newton metres (317 lbf·ft) of torque, on 98 RON 'Super Unleaded' petrol. It is basically the same engine used in the Audi B7 RS4, but is modified to use a dry sump lubrication system. This V8 is a highly reworked, high-revving variant of the existing 4.2 litre V8, but includes cylinder-direct fuel injection (Fuel Stratified Injection), and four valves per cylinder, instead of five (as used on the previous non-FSI variants).

Performance
The R8 has a lot of grip (even in the rain), as it refuses to drift even with forceful application of the handbrake. In this case it's best to just use the gas and brakes when cornering.

On open freeways, fully upgraded and engaging the NOS in 4th or 5th gear, the R8 can hit speed of over 230 mph, but will quickly go down to 200/210 mph after a shot of NOS boost is depleted (supposedly due to the immense grip and/or downforce generated at such speeds).

Acquisition
The Audi R8 could be obtained by completing the Social Club Driving Test prior to it's discontinuation in June 2014. After the said date, any save that did not complete all tests could no longer unlock the R8 for purchase.
