Audi R8 4S Coupe 5.2 FSI V10 performance quattro S tronic - Towing vehicle

Can the Audi R8 also be used as a towing vehicle? In order to answer this issue many different aspects, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.


For the Audi R8 gthe torque indicates how well it can handle heavy loads - the rule here is: a lot helps a lot.. 580 Nm. This much torque is available, which clearly means that even if you have charged a lot, it hardly affects acceleration. If you want to take the trailer off-road, all-wheel drive is absolutely essential. On surfaces where you would otherwise have no problems, the additional weight of the trailer quickly becomes noticeable and a real problem. It's a good thing that this car distributes the power over all four wheels.

However, this advertisement does not yet include trailer hitch and must be added to this.

Final assessment: Is this automobile suitable as a towing vehicle? Unfortunately, the Audi R8 cannot be ordered with a trailer hitch, so it is also not possible to use it in trailer mode.
