Purely in a race car fashion, the steering is the way to access every function from starting the car, using <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Automotive_navigation_system\"><strong>navigation system<\/strong><\/a> and controlling the infotainment system.

Audi has realized that the digital world today needs more enhanced functions. So, virtual cockpit is introduced with a 12.3-inch large display which gives driver all the assistance needed. The navigation is up and active with the push of a button on the steering. It readily uses Google Earth to show directions. This button was initially introduced in TT but afterwards became a part of other models including A4 and R8 itself.<\/p>\n<p>The engine is mounted in front of rear axle i.e. just behind your head which means there is no trunk. But, you do get space for carrying some luggage in the front.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is Audi R8 a perfectionist\u2019s choice?
