The Audi R8 also boasts a fine record in motor sport in its own right with many private teams choosing the R8 for 24 hours endurance and GT3 races. In 2009, Audi have announced the production of an R8 LMS racing car, designed for the GT3 rules in the FIA GT3 European Championship.
In comparing the Audi R8 to other super cars, Eva Magazine praised the Audi R8 for its 'amazing stability, traction and grip, unparalleled steering accuracy and bite, (and) its uncannily flat and disturbance-free ride", claimed that as a result of "the sublime effortlessness of it all", the Audi is a better sports car. The article concluded that "Audi humbles Porsche. A new dawn starts today". The Audi R8 is now regarded as one of the true greats of modern sportscars, with some experts considering it to be as good as the Porsche 997, Lamborghini Gallardo or even the Aston Martin V8 Vantage.
Performance
The Audi R8 comes with either a V8 or V10 engine. The V8 produces 414 bhp and will send the R8 from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 4.4 seconds with a top speed of 187 mph. The V10 version will launch the R8 from 0 to 100 km/h (62.1 mph) in 3.9 seconds with a mind crushing top speed of 196 mph.
Practicality
The Audi R8 is almost a normal car to own and drive. Its handling makes the Audi R8 a pleasure, not a struggle to deal with everyday. With drop dead gorgeous styling you would imaging a supercar of this calibre would be hard on long journeys or the daily commute, but the Audi R8 surpasses all expectations.
Build Quality
As part of the Volkswagen group, build quality is superb. Using the knowledge of Lamborghini, the testing and long term durability of the Audi R8 means it is a Supercar for today and a future classic.
