A Racing Heritage That's Clear from the Audi R8 Interior
As soon as you settle yourself into the cockpit of the Audi R8, you'll notice that the cabin exudes athleticism. Many of the styling cues pay homage to fabled racers of the past, giving the Audi R8 a charmingly historic feel.
The monoposto arc that surrounds the driver is built directly in the mold of race cars. The steering wheel itself is multifunctional, with paddle shifters for when you want to manually move through gears. The wheel is configured in a three-spoke fashion, is flat on the bottom, and comes wrapped in leather.
Luxurious Options to Upgrade Your R8 Cabin
While all Audi R8 models come standard with fine Nappa leather seating surfaces, there are a couple different directions you can go when crafting the luxury interior design and style of your Audi. While reminders of the racing background will always be present, you can choose particular packages such as the Carbon Interior package.
What you'll get with the Carbon Interior package includes:
- Carbon Sigma high-gloss inlays
- Carbon styling laced around the air vents
These features all further emphasize the presence of the Audi virtual cockpit behind the wheel.
Also available are sport seats that come with an eye-catching diamond stitching pattern. Gloss carbon fiber, quilted rhombus stitching in copper tone, and many other interior styling choices will be available to you as you build the Audi R8 that best reflects your personality and tastes.
Additionally, your Audi will keep you comfortable with its available 18-way adjustable power seats with pneumatic side and leg bolsters. Adjust your seat for optimal comfort and visibility, then sit back, relax, and enjoy the drive. If it's a little chilly outside, go ahead and activate those standard heated seats. How's that for a first-class luxury experience?
Interior Dimensions: Passenger Space
The Audi R8 is a coupe, which means it features an intimate interior that's perfectly suited for two riders. Take a look at the interior dimensions below to get a feel for the cabin space:
- Number of seats: 2
- Front headroom: 38.5 inches
- Front shoulder room: 55.1 inches
The roof is low to give the Audi a sleeker look, yet the seats are low, too, providing you with a roomy headroom measurement of 38.5 inches. Lastly, the shoulder room for the two seats means you can bring along a guest while still retaining plenty of personal space. Shoulder room measures 55.1 inches.
High-Tech Features Keep You Connected in the Audi R8
Built with modern drivers in mind, the Audi R8 keeps you well-connected as you cruise through town. Running a bit behind for that big meeting? All it takes is the press of a button and you can call and let your client know-without taking your hands off the wheel.
We start with the standard MMI® Navigation plus system that comes standard with your Audi. It places a touchscreen display right in the center stack of your Audi R8 interior. This is your command center where you can access all your multimedia features like:
- Podcasts
- Audiobooks
- Phone contacts
- Internet radio streaming
Simply connect your smartphone to your Audi using standard Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™. Then, you'll be able to use the infotainment touchscreen in your Audi R8 to use the above-mentioned smartphone apps on the go. Once you choose the perfect song to accompany your drive, it'll play loud and clear through the 13 speakers of the 550-watt Bang & Olufsen® sound system.
Integrated Navigation at Your Fingertips
If you're traveling somewhere new, then the integrated navigation system can provide you with the turn-by-turn directions you need to stay on course. Either input your destination through the infotainment touchscreen display or simply write it on the touchpad. This allows you to easily input a destination without needing to select numbers or letters.
R8 Interior Safety Features
In many ways, driving safe is all about driving smart-and the Audi R8 come standard with smart safety systems that keep you aware of your surroundings at all times. The interior of this Audi coupe features a rearview camera system that transforms into a live video feed of the area directly behind your vehicle when you're in reverse.
With this rearview camera, you'll have a clearer view of what's behind you while parallel parking, backing out of a space in a crowded parking lot, or when exiting your driveway on a busy street. A standard parking system with front and rear acoustic sensors can also help out to make parking even more convenient.
Even more visibility features complete the experience when you're in the interior of the Audi R8. For example, standard high beam assist helps out when you're traveling in dark or rainy conditions. All you need to do is activate your high beams. If the sensor senses oncoming traffic or an upcoming intersection, it'll automatically toggle your high beams off. Once you've passed, your high beams will turn on again.
