Is the Audi R8 engine mounted centrally?

I've heard that the Audi R8 has a unique engine placement, but I'm not sure if it's truly in the center of the car. Can anyone confirm this?

Yes, the Audi R8's engine is indeed mounted in the center, giving it excellent handling and weight distribution.

I've owned an Audi R8 for a few years now and can confirm the engine is mounted in the center. It definitely adds to the driving experience.

As an automotive engineer, I can assure you that the Audi R8 has a mid-engine layout, meaning the engine sits directly behind the passenger compartment.
