The naturally aspirated V10 engine mated to a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch transmission is good for 562 horsepower and 550Nm of torque. It also gets the sport exhaust system, previously only available on the R8 performance variants, which amplifies the sound of the V10 engine, which the driver can adjust using a dedicated steering-mounted button or via the Audi drive select setting.
