2011 AUDI R8
This model year
What the record shows
The 2011 Audi R8 is a two-seater, and the 6th model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2006 to 2025.
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 324 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.
