2011 AUDI R8 SPYDER
This model year
What the record shows
The 2011 Audi R8 Spyder is a two-seater, and the 1st model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2011 to 2023.
The EPA rated four configurations: engines from 4.2-litre eight-cylinder to 5.2-litre ten-cylinder, all-wheel drive only, two transmissions and running on premium gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 14 to 16 mpg depending on which one you have.
The federal record holds 1 owner complaint, 1 safety recall and 341 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
