Audi ‘le pone ojitos’ a el mercado americano y le dedica una versión especial de su superdeportivo. Bajo el nombre de Audi R8 Competition se presenta una versión más potente y ligera, con detalles específicos y además, limitada a solo 60 unidades de las que en principio, ninguna llegará a Europa.
Se presentará en el Salón del Automóvil de Los Ángeles y se posiciona, según Audi, como el modelo de producción más potente desarrollado por la marca superando al actual Audi R8 V10 Plus e incluso, al Audi R8 GT de 560 cv.
Aerodinámica más cuidada y fibra de carbono
Toda versión especial debe tener algo especial, valga la redundancia, y la mejor manera de ofrecer algo extra respecto al modelo de partida es meterlo en el túnel de viento y volver a estudiar el comportamiento del flujo de aire alrededor del coche. Es decir, el Audi R8 Competition cuenta con un nuevo kit de carrocería que mejora la aerodinámica pero eso sí, fabricado usando fibra de carbono.
El nuevo aerokit se compone de un alerón trasero fijo, splitter frontal, aletines en el paragolpes frontal, carcasa de los espejos y el difusor trasero. Todo de fibra de carbono como ya he dicho, que además, ayuda a rebajar el peso según comentan desde Audi, aunque no han dado cifras.
La fibra de carbono también cubre los ‘side blades’, los apliques que hay detrás de las puertas así como diversas zonas del habitáculo, como la consola central o los umbrales de las puertas, que también están retroiluminados y son específicos del Audi R8 Competition.
Más potente
Siguiendo con los cambios efectuados para esta edición especial ‘Competition’ del Audi R8, tenemos que pasar a la mecánica. No hay sorpresas, evidentemente, solo un mínimo apretón al V10 de 5,2 litros e inyección directa FSi, que pasa de los los 550 cv del R8 V10 Plus llegando a los 578 cv que según la propia Audi se posiciona como el modelo de producción más potente que han fabricado, olvidándose por completo del Audi RS6 V10 de 580 cv.
No falta la caja de cambio de doble embrague S-Tronic de siete marchas ni la transmisión total quattro para lograr un 0 a 100 km/h en 3,2 segundos y una punta de 320 km/h.
Se podrá reservar desde el próximo mes de noviembre pero no empezaran a entregarse hasta 2015.
