Audi R8



Right from the start, the Audi R8 took up a leading position in the supercar segment, thanks to the enormous power of its V8 or V10 engine, the quattro permanent all-wheel drive, and its lightweight Audi Space Frame (ASF) body made of aluminum. A high degree of everyday practicality and typical Audi quality and craftsmanship complete the profile of this model...

I vacationed in England a couple of years ago and dropped in Victoria Audi while I was in Westminster. The first thing to catch my eye was an R8 featured in the showroom, but the display of model cars was something I hadn't seen before. Audi UK is known for its merchandise, and they definitely don't skimp on their budget for Audi car models.

Hot Wheels also has their lineup of models.

Audi R8 Test Drive

Last week I was surprised by an email addressed from my dealership, subject, R8 Test Drive. I flew out of my seat when I realized I would be behind the wheel of an engineered masterpiece.

2010 Audi R8 5.2 V10.

From Drving.ca:
"The new R8 with its 5.2-litre V10 engine is just plain radical. Not only does the R8's monster, naturally aspirated engine attain the Holy Grail of more than 100 horsepower per litre of engine displacement (100.9 in this case), it only has to motivate 3.09 kilograms of automobile for each of the stallions it develops. It is a wickedly fast automobile.”

It started with rumours, then came some pictures, and now we have great looking videos. Crank the audio and check out the 2010 Audi R8 Spider. The car looks and sounds phenomenal, but this is no surprise coming from Audi. A key feature in the R8 Spider is the obvious open-air convertable option, so reserve it for long road trip without a map.
