Audi open dedicated sport centre in Dublin

The country’s first dedicated Audi Sport centre has opened in Dublin, specialising in the sale and servicing of Audi’s high-end RS range, including the all-new Audi R8; its flagship supercar.

At the VIP opening on Thursday, the all-new Audi R8 Coupé was star of the show with the latest RS models — the new RS3, new RS6 and the RS7.

The all-new Audi R8 V10, which retails from €231,500, effortlessly melds a powerful, high-performance engine with lightweight design, with its 5.2 FSI engine; whilst the Audi R8 V10 Plus, with 610bhp, accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 3.2 seconds, reaching a top speed of 330 km/h.

Allison Reede, Head of Business at Audi Centre, said: “The opening of Audi Sport at Audi Centre follows increasing demand for Audi’s high-performance sports range, including the all-new Audi R8 and the RS models.

“Audi Sport, the dedicated centre for Audi’s RS range, will allow us to deliver specialist expertise and service capability to our customers in Dublin and across Ireland.”
