Inside, the interior has a black livery embellished with decorative applications in shiny carbon fiber and coppery touches. Sport seats in Alcantara leather feature diamond stitching. As a reminder of the bronze hue of the exterior, the cockpit of the Audi R8 V10 Decennium is adorned with copper stitching on the seats, the steering wheel and the center console. The door sills incorporate the logo, which is also projected onto the floor via LED lighting when you open the doors. A guarantee of its rarity, the numbering of the series is also among the distinctive elements.
Ultra-lightweight construction
Designed in a perfect combination of aluminum and carbon fiber reinforced plastic, the Audi Space Frame allows the Audi R8’s ultimate edition to set a record weight on the scale with only 1,595 kg, which is 35 kg less than the previous generation. However, its sophisticated frame, front and back, allows it to be extremely resistant.

The chassis of the Audi R8 V10 Decennium is an essential component of its precision and responsiveness. Its aluminum double-wishbone axles steer the four wheels, while the Audi magnetic ride continuously adapts the shock absorbers to your driving style and road profile. The recalibrated power steering, which can be dynamic, offers a surprising responsiveness and maneuverability. For optimal braking, the Audi R8 V10 Decennium features ceramic brakes reinforced with carbon fiber.
