Overview
The Audi R8 has four-link independent suspension at
both sets of wheels. High performance shock absorbers
contribute to the agile handling and sporty road
dynamics of the R8.
The anti-lock brake system incorporates electronic
brake-force distribution and hydraulic brake assist. The
R8 is equipped with large 8-piston fixed caliper brakes at
the front and 4-piston fixed-caliper brakes at the rear.
The Audi magnetic ride adaptive damping system allows
the suspension settings to be individually preconfigured
between Normal and Sport. The system benefits
include continuous damping, short response time, and
continuous real-time regulation.
Tire pressure changes are directly displayed in the
driver information system as part of the tire pressure
monitoring system. One sensor on each wheel
constantly monitors the tire pressure.
