The company is in full-swing within just three weeks of the New Year, they have launched 2 new cars and opened-up one dealership at South Mumbai.
The R8 has been in market for almost six years and sometime earlier, Audi felt that the car has aged a fair bit and came out with a mid life facelift to keep the car fresh. However, the company hasn’t changed the design as the super car continues to look stunning. Minor exterior updates include tweaked lights, grille, bumpers, restyled diffuser, new round tailpipes and bigger wheels.
On the inside, the changes include small updates like seen in shift paddles, needles in the instrument cluster, diamond-stitched headlining, door panels and Fine Nappa full-leather seats. However, the nature of changes is such that only the auto enthusiast would be able to spot the difference between the new and outgoing editions of the car.
The engine output figure for the 2013 models remains the same.
