The Audi R8 V10 performance RWD ( Rear Wheel Drive ) is the sporty new cutting edge of serial rear-wheel drive sports cars from Audi . “ The Audi R8 V10 RWD really struck a chord with customers right from the start with its rear-wheel drive derived from the R8 LMS racecar and its unfiltered dynamics .
