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

Is the Audi R8 also good for towing trailers? In order to answer this question the motor vehicle must be considered from all points of view, such as whether a trailer hitch (AHK) is available at all, the torque, and the maximum towing capacity.


torque affects the Audi R8 how much the trailer load affects acceleration. 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 automobile distributes the power over all four wheels.

However, this advertisement does not yet include trailer coupling 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.
