Ajax, Ontario - On the heels of the new Audi TT Coupe launch in Montreal last month, Audi Canada has unveiled the R8 supercar at the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto.

As the first Audi mid-engined sports car, the R8 reflects Audi's extensive motorsports experience. Its mid-mounted V8 FSI engine, Quattro permanent all-wheel drive and Audi Space Frame aluminum body provide outstanding driving dynamics. Its 4.2-litre V8 engine delivers 420 hp at 7800 rpm, and peak torque is 317 ft.-lbs. from 4.500 to 6,000 rpm. The R8 accelerates from a standstill to 100 km/ in 4.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of over 295 km/h.

The R8 features an integrated side blade, which is available in three different and distinct styles, for greater personalization. The ability to personalize the vehicle to the customer's personal preferences continues with the interior, where a wide array of options such as the 12 speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system, trim options to accent the exterior, and a variety of accentuated leather colours.

The first Audi R8s will arrive at the end of 2007.
