And another standard-equipment announcement crosses the wires. This time from Audi, who will be offering Sirius Satellite Radio as standard-equipment in key 2008 model year Audi vehicles.
Audi will offer Sirius - again, as standard equipment (they KEY to growth) - in all 2008 model year S4, RS 4, A6, A8, and R8 models, as well as the Audi Q7 3.6 Premium, 4.2, and 4.2 Premium models, available at dealers later this year.
Included in that list, and pictured above, is the all-new (and badass) Audi R8. The R8 is the first mid-engine sports car Audi has ever produced.
Rockin' out with a 420 hp V8 4.2L FSI engine and rear-biased Quattro all-wheel drive system, the R8 can go zero to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds and has a top speed of 187 mph. Yep, the fastest Audi ever produced will include Sirius standard.
I wish either Chrysler or Ford would just announce ALL cars factory standard Sirius installed--I think Chrysler in limbo right now with buyout talks
