<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S2jycf29spI/AAAAAAAAC8g/97QYeGO6SaA/s400/2010-Audi-R8-Spyder-5.2-FSI-quattro-V10-engine-3.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro V10 engine </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">While everybody and their brother likes the <b>R8</b>, there is a small, but vocal minority that's always thought coupe looked a little funny. Well, that group of naysayers can now put a sock in it, as the <b>R8 Spyder</b> is simply gorgeous. Gone are the carbon fiber side blades, in are sensible but somehow better looking slab sides. Regardless, it's simply hot. Exceptional performance and breathtaking dynamism coupled with the intense sensations of open-top driving: Audi presents the <b>R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro</b>. Its lightweight cloth top opens and closes fully automatically; several body parts are made of a carbon fiber composite material.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S2jyz9k1LBI/AAAAAAAAC9A/c1jCDCf8fBo/s400/2010-Audi-R8-Spyder-5.2-FSI-quattro-V10-engine-7.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro V10 engine </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The <b>V10 engine </b>produces 386 kW (525 hp) and launches the open-top two-seater to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 4.1 seconds; 0 – 200 km/h (124.27 mph) in 12.7 seconds; on its way to a top speed of 313 km/h (194.49 mph) with the six-speed manual transmission. The 5.2-liter engine features FSI direct fuel injection. Equipped with a manual transmission, the R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro consumes an average of 14.9 liters of fuel per 100 km (15.79 US mpg) – a good figure given its power. With R tronic, this figure improves to 13.9 liters (16.92 US mpg). Featuring technologies such as the <b>Audi Space Frame (ASF)</b>, quattro permanent all-wheel drive, full-LED headlights and with an innovative seatbelt microphone available as an option, the R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro is<b> the new top-of-the-range Audi.</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S2jyQtG4fVI/AAAAAAAAC8Q/ogPOMgRj7F4/s400/2010-Audi-R8-Spyder-5.2-FSI-quattro-V10-engine-1.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro V10 engine </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Unlike the Coupé, the Spyder does not have sideblades behind the doors. The side panels and the large cover over the storage compartment for the cloth top are made of a carbon fiber composite. Two arched cowls, which extend to the spoiler lip and include large, integrated air vents, give the rear of the open-top two-seater a powerful profile.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S2jynRmIwbI/AAAAAAAAC8w/f3kE2J6JFNw/s400/2010-Audi-R8-Spyder-5.2-FSI-quattro-V10-engine-5.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro V10 engine </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The electrohydraulic soft top opens and closes in 19 seconds, even while driving at speeds up to 50 km/h (31.07 mph). When opened, it folds like a Z into its storage compartment over the V10 engine. The compartment cover opens and closes automatically. The heated glass window, which is separate from the cloth top, is lowered into the bulkhead. It can be independently raised and lowered at the press of a switch, with the top up or down. Audi offers the R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro with a choice of three colors for the top. The body is available in eleven paint finishes, with metallic and pearl effect finishes standard. The windshield frame is coated with anodized aluminum. The leather for the seats are colored with pigments that reflect the infrared component of sunlight, which keeps the seats up to 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) cooler.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S2jyiSnmmdI/AAAAAAAAC8o/AfXpNGSNFfM/s400/2010-Audi-R8-Spyder-5.2-FSI-quattro-V10-engine-4.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro V10 engine </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A worldwide first is the optional seatbelt microphone for the hands-free unit, which makes it possible to talk on the phone even with the top down on the highway. Three small, flat microphones are integrated into both seatbelts. At least one of them is ideally positioned relative to the speaker when the belt is on. There is a fourth microphone in the windshield frame. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S2jyWs45uuI/AAAAAAAAC8Y/AfJcO0mc0II/s400/2010-Audi-R8-Spyder-5.2-FSI-quattro-V10-engine-2.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S2jytvHnP2I/AAAAAAAAC84/pkH-bqajhUA/s400/2010-Audi-R8-Spyder-5.2-FSI-quattro-V10-engine-6.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 FSI quattro V10 engine </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The quattro permanent all-wheel drive features a central viscous coupling and distributes power to all four wheels with a heavy rear bias.

2010 Audi R8 V10 5.2 FSI quattro high-performance Sports Car

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S13o4Y2ggAI/AAAAAAAACpw/mV5lqCSISMY/s400/2010-Audi-R8-V10-5.2-FSI-quattro-1.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Audi R8 V10 5.2 FSI quattro </b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Audi announced that the price for the highly anticipated<b> 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro V10 sports car </b>will be rolled out in Germany in the second quarter of 2009 at a basic price of EUR 142,400. The Audi R8 V10 is the result of cumulative know-how from Audi's string of Le Mans victories. Its naturally aspirated engine combines <b>racing technology </b>such as dry sump lubrication with FSI gasoline direct injection. The ten-cylinder design is the perfect synthesis for impressive top performance, mighty pulling power, and low weight. Starting in 2009, this engine will also prove its potential on the world's racetracks - in the new <b>Audi R8 GT3 racing car</b> Audi is developing for customer teams in conformance with the GT3 rules.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S13o-LvoNGI/AAAAAAAACp4/ZIEje9QJBsE/s400/2010-Audi-R8-V10-5.2-FSI-quattro-2.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Audi R8 V10 5.2 FSI quattro</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Audi R8 V10 5.2 FSI quattro is the next variant of its top-of-the-line model. With the Audi R8, the brand has established itself at the forefront of high-end sports cars from the very start - and now comes the Audi R8 V10. Its 5.2-liter, ten-cylinder engine churns out 386 kW (525 hp) and 530 Nm (390.91 lb-ft) of torque, which makes for breathtaking performance. With superior Audi technologies such as quattro all-wheel drive, the lightweight aluminum body, the innovative all-LED headlights, and its striking design, the Audi R8 V10 takes pole position against the competition.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S13pDnOhHcI/AAAAAAAACqA/dIMdNcQ0I4M/s400/2010-Audi-R8-V10-5.2-FSI-quattro-3.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Audi R8 V10 5.2 FSI quattro</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The V10 engine in the production sports car will be almost identical in construction to the one in the racing version. Its displacement is 5,204 cc, at 6,500 rpm it delivers 530 Nm (390.91 lb-ft) of torque, at 8,000 rpm its power tops out at 386 kW (525 hp). The specific power output is 100.9 hp per liter of displacement - and each hp has to propel only 3.09 kilograms (6.91 lb) of weight, because the Audi R8 V10 in the version with the six-speed manual gearshift weighs only 1,620 kilograms (3571 lb). The engine accounts for 258 of these kilograms (569 lb) - that's only 31 kilos (68 lb) more than the V8.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S13pIqZq7eI/AAAAAAAACqI/E0cHqNTMuas/s400/2010-Audi-R8-V10-5.2-FSI-quattro-4.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Audi R8 V10 5.2 FSI quattro</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The 5.2-liter powerplant uses direct injection according to the FSI principle developed by Audi. The Audi R8 V10 with R tronic gets by on an average of 13.7 liters per 100 km (17.17 US mpg). The Audi R8 V10 5.2 FSI quattro rockets from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 3.9 seconds. In the version with the sequentially shifting R tronic it reaches 200 km/h (124.27 mph) in another 8.1 seconds. Even then its propulsive power hardly lessens: it's sufficient to reach a top speed of 316 km/h (196.35 mph). The immense force, the spontaneity and the thrust of the acceleration, plus the sound of the engine - all these impressions coalesce into a breathtaking sports car experience. The V10 plays a concert with growling bass tones and powerful high notes, which grows into a grandiose fortissimo as the engine revs up. This sonorous acceleration doesn't reach its limit until 8,700 rpm.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S13pPo2nGBI/AAAAAAAACqY/n5VNJnwkk7k/s400/2010-Audi-R8-V10-5.2-FSI-quattro-6.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>2010 Audi R8 V10 5.2 FSI quattro</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">A contributing factor to the wide lead in traction and driving safety of the Audi R8 V10 over the competition is quattro all-wheel drive - it's the superior technology especially for a high-performance sports car. Four powered wheels get more grip than two. They enable the driver to step on the gas sooner when coming out of a curve. It's not only the traction that benefits, but also the transverse dynamics and the stability.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://sportcar5.blogspot.com/"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/S13pY38-lLI/AAAAAAAACqo/PoHqslgMENU/s400/2010-Audi-R8-V10-5.2-FSI-quattro-8.gif" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <b>2010 Audi R8 V10 5.2 FSI quattro</b></div>

2011 Lotus Esprit Sports Car will be a wholly different Beast powered by a 4.4 liter V8 engine

After running some <span style="font-weight: bold;">DVLA</span> records and matching the license plate, AutoCar has learned that the <span style="font-weight: bold;">prototype</span> is powered by a <span style="font-weight: bold;">4.4 liter V8 engine.</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lotus</span> sources have previously said that <span style="font-weight: bold;">BMW </span>may be the supplier for Lotus’ <span style="font-weight: bold;">2011</span> Esprit.It’s possible that the new Lotus Esprit will carry the 4.4 liter <span style="font-weight: bold;">twin-turbo V8 engine</span> from the new <span style="font-weight: bold;">BMW X6</span>, but will most likely be tuned to develop <span style="font-weight: bold;">500 horsepower</span>.Currently the 4.4 liter twin-turbo from V8 produces 400 horsepower. The engine is also expected to be used in other BMW models including the X5 and the 7-Series. Lotus engineers will most probably re-work the engine management to reach numbers closer the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Nissan GT-</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">R</span> and the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Porsche 911 Turbo.</span><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">According to Lotus insiders, the next-gen <span style="font-weight: bold;">Elis</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">e </span>will arrive sometime in early 2011 followed by an<span style="font-weight: bold;"> all-new V8-po</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">wered Esprit</span> in<span style="font-weight: bold;"> 2012.</span><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Svw1A4ACvvI/AAAAAAAAAsA/b4P4uMpu9yY/s1600-h/2011-Lotus-Esprit-Sports-Car-2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403251942086590194" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Svw1A4ACvvI/AAAAAAAAAsA/b4P4uMpu9yY/s400/2011-Lotus-Esprit-Sports-Car-2.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">..............................2011 Lotus Esprit Sports Car</span><br /></div><br />The 2011 Elise will likely be built upon an evolved version of the current model’s extruded-aluminium underpinnings and continue the same formula that’s made the pint-sized <span style="font-weight: bold;">sportscar </span>a track day fave, but the Esprit will be a wholly different beast.<br />While the new Elise is all but locked in, the Esprit project is very much dependent on whether Lotus can sell enough Evoras to fund it. The timeline for the Esprit is also at the mercy of the global economic situation, with Lotus likely to delay the Esprit and forge ahead with a far less costly drop-top<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Evora </span>if the recession persists much longer.<br />If it launches on time, the Esprit could be Lotus’ best hope of gaining a much larger share of the sports car market.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">There are speculations stating that the 500bhp V10 powerplant can be the source of power for the Lotus Esprit, which will be released in 2012.<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Svw1AhNuvPI/AAAAAAAAAr4/jzbjCzY7mBI/s1600-h/2011-Lotus-Esprit-Sports-Car-3.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403251935969983730" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Svw1AhNuvPI/AAAAAAAAAr4/jzbjCzY7mBI/s400/2011-Lotus-Esprit-Sports-Car-3.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">..............................2011 Lotus Esprit Sports Car</span><br /></div><br />The engine is currently being used in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lexus LF-A</span>, a car that has not yet been launched itself. Being connected with the Japanese carmaker <span style="font-weight: bold;">Toyota</span>, Lotus has access to its entire range of parts and components, as well as powerplants from the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lexus</span> line. This points to the likelihood of an Esprit flagship, costing more than ?100,000, equipped with the compact 8500rpm <span style="font-weight: bold;">V10 </span>unit (to rival the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lamborghini Gallardo</span>), including a less expensive variant equipped with the 5-liter, 417bhp V8 from the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Lexus IS-F</span> and an entry-level model coming with a Lotus-tuned direct-injection <span style="font-weight: bold;">Toyota V6</span> unit that can come up with 300bhp.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Although a V8 or a V10 unit would definitely boost the profile of Lotus, there is also a possibility of an <span style="font-weight: bold;">Eco Esprit</span>. Lotus is moving forwards with more efficient products with lightweight engineering and its keen interest in <span style="font-weight: bold;">alternative fuels</span> and <span style="font-weight: bold;">hybrid</span> solutions. This is also underline by its partnership with the electric car manufacturer <span style="font-weight: bold;">Tesla.</span><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Svw1AcWrWrI/AAAAAAAAArw/aJEqIcWPciU/s1600-h/2011-Lotus-Esprit-Sports-Car-4.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403251934665333426" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wSUG_ibJWC4/Svw1AcWrWrI/AAAAAAAAArw/aJEqIcWPciU/s400/2011-Lotus-Esprit-Sports-Car-4.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">..............................2011 Lotus Esprit Sports Car</span><br /></div><br />The Esprit was inspired by the larger bonded and extruded aluminum chassis of the recently launched Evora, the rear section of which have been developed to accommodate both transversely and longitudinally fitted engines. Although the Lotus has shown that it can develop a new model in a short time (the Evora, for example, was developed in 27 months), the work on the Esprit will only reach its maximum when the Evora is being swept out of showrooms in the <span style="font-weight: bold;">UK, Europe </span>and <span style="font-weight: bold;">US</span>. It is the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Malaysians</span> who are funding the Evora project, with the persuasion of<span style="font-weight: bold;"> Lotus CEO Mike Kimberley.</span></div>
