The vehicle features a naturally aspirated 4.2 liter V8 engine that delivers 450 horsepower. This particular V8 engine is one of the best naturally aspirated V8’s that have ever been produced, and in addition to the power, it offers a terrific and unique sound. People who think that sound doesn’t matter, probably have never driven a car with a V8 engine before. That engine will allow the vehicle to travel from 0-62 miles per hour (100 km/h) in 4.5 seconds. Audi has also increased the top speed of this vehicle from 155 miles per hour to 174 miles per hour.
