The 2007 Audi R8 4.2 FSI quattro is the entry-level trim in the Audi R8 model range.

It is powered by a 4.2L V8 engine which is shared with the Audi RS4, and entered production in 2006 before undergoing a facelift in 2012.

Games[]

Need for Speed: ProStreet[]

The R8 appears in Need for Speed: ProStreet as a tier 3 car.

It is available in the PC release of the game once the player has applied patch v1.1 or purchased the downloadable Booster Pack. It is also available as part of the Extender Pack Premium Car Bundle #2 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 releases.

The Audi R8 is capable of reaching a high top speed and is, therefore, a suitable car for Speed Challenges. The heavy weight of the all-wheel drive system makes the Audi R8 enter and exit corners slower than similar tier 3 cars.

Need for Speed: Undercover[]

The R8 appears in Need for Speed: Undercover as a tier 1 car with a price tag of $220,000. It is unlocked upon reaching Wheelman Level 13.5.

It is depicted in the game to be one of the fastest tier 1 cars due to quick acceleration. It is capable of reaching a top speed of 236 mph (380 km/h) without upgrades, which can be increased up to 250 mph (403 km/h).

Need for Speed: Shift[]

The R8 appears in Need for Speed: Shift as a tier 3 car with a price tag of $135,000. It is unlocked upon collecting 80 stars and has a car rating of 8.60. It is incapable of a Works conversion and is ineligible for Drift events.

Need for Speed: Nitro[]

Stub - This article section needs expanding with relevant information.

The R8 appears in Need for Speed: Nitro as a class A car and costs $120,000. It is rated 4 in speed; 3 in acceleration, handling, and drifting; and 2 in strength.

Luis, the top racer in Madrid, drives an R8 in the location's Silver Cup Drag Race and all Gold Cup race events except for the Drift Challenge, Time Attack, and Speed Trap events. In addition, Luis' R8 can also be seen in his profile video and the game's opening video.

Luis[]

Luis' R8 can be unlocked as a collectible car for use in both Arcade Mode and Career Mode, once all stars are obtained in all Madrid Gold Cup events.

Need for Speed: World[]

The R8 debuted as a tier 3 vehicle in Need for Speed: World on June 28, 2010, during the seventh closed beta session. Since August 22, 2012, it has been featured as a B class vehicle.

It has a mediocre nitrous boost but has decent acceleration as well as a high top speed of 187 mph (302 km/h). Its heavy kerb weight benefits its pursuit durability but also makes the car useless in curvy race tracks due to heavy steering.
