New Looking Audi R8

Audi R8 is most stylish and low weight Sports car I ever heard.

Audi's slogan is ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’ or advancement through the use of technology. Several years ago, Audi created waves with its all-aluminium bodied A8 – becoming one of the first manufacturers to make production car bodies from a metal normally found in aircraft construction. The R8 has a specially developed Audi Space Frame (ASF®) made from aluminium and magnesium. Even the struts are made of sealed hollow extrusions, while sheet aluminium elements are included in the framework so as to have a load-bearing function. The result is extreme rigidity with less weight. One cannot even imagine this type of construction being used in conventional cars such as a Maruti 800 or Esteem.
