The Audi R8 was recently crowned 2016 World Performance Car at the 2016 New York International Auto Show. This award marks the third time the R8 has garnered this particular distinction, and the fourth time it has been recognized by the World Car Awards. The other award it received prior to this most recent one was the World Car Design of the Year Award.

“With its distinctive design, its driving dynamics and its closeness to racing, the R8 is one of the strongest calling cards for the four rings and is the flagship car from Audi Sport. The first generation of the R8 paved our way toward becoming a premium brand and raised the aura of Audi to a new level. The new R8 will continue this success story and further accelerate the growth strategy of Audi Sport.” –Dietmar Voggenreiter, Board Member for Sales and Marketing at AUDI AG.
The Audi R8 Coupe is a seriously powerful vehicle, more powerful than any other Audi production model. With its best equipped, the R8 can reach speeds of 205.1 mph and go from 0-62.1 mph in 3.2 seconds. That’s a lot of ‘giddyup’ packed into one vehicle. The R8 makes its racing pedigree known when you first lay eyes on it and then it backs that pedigree up every time you press the pedal. With so much performance beneath its bonnet, there’s no surprise that the 73 jurors for the World Car Awards felt the 2016 World Performance Car award belonged with the Audi R8. And you won’t hear a word of argument from us.
