Overall Performance
The Audi R8 4.2 FSi Quattro has a stock top speed of 306 km/h (190 mph) which is very high for Class B cars. It has a good acceleration and a mediocre nitrous output. Its handling though is very bad and unresponsive because of its sluggish steering. Due to that it can be hard to avoid wall contact which would lead to a loss of speed.

For Team Escape and Pursuit Outrun it can be used as a good escape vehicle. Due to the heavy weight that it has as well it can go through roadblocks and take head-on collisions well but because of the steering it can be hard to dodge police vehicles.
