Yet another awesome car at the auto show, a 2009 R8 4.2, one of the most distinct cars on the road today.  The soul of the R8 4.2 FSI quattro is the adrenaline inducing 420 hp 4.2 FSI V8 engine. Displayed under a transparent panel, the V8 produces 317 lb-ft of torque and propels the R8 4.2 to 60 mph in only 4.4 seconds on the way up to a top track speed of 187 mph. As part of a race-bred mid-engine design that contributes to superb handling dynamics, the 4.2 V8 features race winning technology such as FSI direct injection, sodium-cooled exhaust valves and is setup for a high-revving 8250 rpm.
