Audi has announced 10 lucky Australian buyers with cash to splash will be able to get their hands on one of the limited edition R8 V10 plus Neuburg Editions, specifically developed for the Australian market.
 
Limited to 10 individually numbered vehicles, the R8 V10 plus Neuburg Edition is named after the Audi Sport headquarters in Neuburg, Germany, and represents an exclusive embodiment of the brand's proud motorsport heritage.
 
Power will come from a massive 5.2-litre FSI V10 engine producing 449kW of power and 560Nm of torque. The 0-100km/h dash is recorded at 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 330km/h.
 
A seven-speed S tronic transmission and quattro permanent all-wheel drive will be matched with the engine. Together with a lightweight carbon fibre and aluminium construction of the Audi Space Frame (ASF), an impressive power to weight ratio is achieved as well as the highest levels of handling and grip.
 
Building on the specifications and equipment from the R8 V10 plus, the R8 Neuburg Edition brings many other distinguishing additions such as LED headlights with Audi laser light, 20-inch alloy wheels in Anthracite gloss black, gloss carbon engine covers and exterior wing mirrors and the Audi exclusive high-gloss titanium black exterior package.
 
A limited selection of Audi sport exterior colours will be available for the R8 Neuburg edition including Tango red, Mythos black and Suzuka grey which are all metallic finishes and Daytona grey in pearl effect. Colour availability will be subject to the individual build number of the vehicle.
 
Differentiating the interior is black fine Nappa leather upholstery with distinctive express red diamond pattern stitching mirrored by black Alcantara with diamond pattern stitching covering the headlining. Black Alcantara is also used on the rear wall and parcel shelf, as well as on the flat-bottom steering wheel and gear shift gaiter which is highlighted with express red contrasting stitching.
 
As a point of contrast, gloss carbon inlays are used throughout the cabin with the door sill trims also featuring an illuminated aluminium inlay and customised Audi exclusive inlay that features the individual build number of the car.
 
For each R8 Neuburg Edition customer, a bespoke gift will be delivered when their limited edition vehicle is ordered. Contained in a beautifully crafted box, which opens at the angle of the Audi sport rhombus, will be a set of Bang & Olufsen H6 headphones with subtle R8 badging, as well as a Samsung Galaxy Tab.
 
Each of the Samsung Galaxy Tab devices will be preloaded with a gallery of images shot by renowned Australian motoring photographer Chris Benny Imaging and the first locally produced 360-degree video of the Audi R8 at Victoria's Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit.
 
The Audi R8 V10 plus coupe Neuburg Edition is available for $402,500 before on-road costs.
