SafetySupreme sports cars such as the Audi R8 need to balance exhilaration with reassurance. It achieves this – and more – thanks to a standard specification that offers superior safety: large-size, ventilated brakes; the ESP 8.0 Electronic Stability Program; the robust occupant cell surrounded by energy-absorbing zones and numerous electronic assistance systems. | |
Active headrests
The chance of a whiplash injury in a rear collision is reduced thanks to active head restraints. They automatically deploy forwards to cushion backward momentum of the head. This feature is fully adjustable for maximum comfort.
| |
| Brake system
8-piston fixed callipers on the front axle and 4-piston fixed callipers on the rear axle give the Audi R8 supreme stopping power and directional stability.

Xenon headlights
Bi-Xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights and LED rear lights assist the driver at night, or when visibility is poor, and gives the R8 its distinctive look.
| |
| Seat belts
In the event of a crash (including from behind or side-on), belt tensioners promptly bring the belt much closer to the occupant’s body, reducing the risk of injuries.

|
Electronic stabilisation
The Electronic Stability Program, ESP 8.0 - configured in three modes for the first time - offers high driving safety and vehicle stability.
