Audi R8: See how it's built

Monday, October 02, 2006

You have to watch these pics! See how the Audi R8 is being built at Audi's Neckarsulm plant. A must see!

This week, Audi staged a gala event at its Neckarsulm plant to celebrate the facility's centenary. The dignitary-laden event featured a trip down memory lane in which key vehicles produced at the site over its history were displayed, each representing a particular benchmark over the 100-year history. The culmination of the event featured two new R8s being driven on stage to signify the sports car's production kickoff at Neckarsulm. To prepare the facility for this new task, €28,000,000 has been invested to ready the R8 production line, where 250 employees will be dedicated to the car's manufacture.

The R8 will find itself in good company at Neckarsulm, as that facility also builds the A6 Allroad, S6 sedan and wagon, and S8 super sedan.
