Audi R8 Limited Edition for China
Audi has just released a limited edition of their R8 model. Only 30 units will available for customers. This comes after just last month, the R8 China Edition was released.
A marketing strategy to get customers to pay a premium rate for a regular R8 with a few visual upgrades, the Limited Edition is available in Cool Nordic Gold paint with a matte black trim, titanium grey accents and 19-inch alloy wheels. Matte carbon fiber adorns the mirrors, side blades and the rear wing.
The cabin is upgraded with Alcantara sport seats, shark skin leather knee pads and Cool Nordic Gold trim. Other interior features include carbon fiber door handles and a aluminium gear knob with the serial number for the car, with no number 4, as the Chinese consider that number unlucky.
In December last year, the Audi R8 China Edition was released which is also a limited production of only 80 units. That too has the Alcantara sports seats and steering wheel, carbon fiber add-ons and serial-numbered gear knob. It’s exactly the same as the Limited Edition except for the color of the exterior and few bits of the interior (a choice between Malibu Blue and Suzuka Grey), different rims and rear windshield frame design.
No performance upgrades with both models having the stock 5.2L V10 engine that develops 525 bhp and 391 lb-ft of torque, capable of reaching 0-100 kph in 3.9 seconds.
For the Audi R8 Limited Edition, Customers need to dish out at least 2,628,000 Yuan, which is about $422,820.
