The Audi R8 - A Review

The Audi R8 is a two-seater sports car with a lot of oomph. It's a sensible supercar, meaning it has a reasonable price tag. It comes with a range of high-end features, like a sculpted sport seat, leather interior, and a high-resolution digital gauge display.

While it may not be as quick as its rivals, the R8 is a surprisingly smooth and comfortable car to drive. In fact, you can easily find yourself feeling like a millionaire while cruising down the street.

The V10 engine is a beast. It's the bigg
est chunk of the car's weight, and it sits in the middle between the wheels. That means the car is more stable at high speeds. It's also an all-aluminum, super-light machine.

You can expect a nice ride and plenty of grip on slippery road surfaces. If you're on the road, the R8's quattro all-wheel drive system will send power to all four wheels when necessary. This gives the car a boost when it's wet and will improve its handling when the weather is dry.

It's also worth noting that the R8's Virtual Cockpit display is not only a big improvement over the competition, but also offers multiple layouts. It supports Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, and shows a large sat nav map behind the steering wheel.

Lastly, the 12.3-inch instrument cluster is the best part of the car. Featuring crisp graphics, the cluster is easy to use with the center console dial. Also, it offers more infotainment functions than you'd get with a touchscreen, such as the ability to control climate controls.

Aside from its technological achievements, the R8's most notable feature may be its design. Although it's a bit simplistic, the R8's design isn't afraid to impress. Featuring a front end that mimics the A1 Sportback and a rear end that is more in line with the Porsche 911 Turbo, the exterior isn't without its own charm.

The R8's interior is also a winner. While the car has a simple, minimalist look, it still contains high-end materials and plenty of customization options. Leather interiors are available in a flat pattern or in a quilted design. Additionally, the R8's carbon fibre trim gives the car a sporty feel.

It's also worth noting the design of the R8's brakes. They're crafted with precision, so they have plenty of feel when you're pushing the car to the limit. However, the best part of the brakes is their low noise level.

If you're looking for a sports car that's practical enough to use everyday, the R8 is definitely for you. With the right accessories, you can have a Lamborghini-like driving experience without breaking the bank.

If you want to go for a less expensive version of the R8, the R8 V10 Performance RWD might be a better fit. It's cheaper than the all-wheel drive model, and features a 620-horsepower, twin-turbo V10 engine. Depending on the trim level, the R8 also has a rear-wheel drift mode and seven increments of rear-wheel slip.
