Audi R8

When Audi brought out the R8 it was shortly after they had just purchased the Italian car company Lamborghini and had something to prove. Audi was not known for creating supercars but had secretly been working on the development and release of the first high end sports car to compete with the names such as Ferrari and Lamborghini. The first R8 was a hudge success as they intelligently priced the car just underneath the competitors to try and steal a few sales. Well the R8 has developed and is known as a user friendly, precise and enjoyable sports car that looks great. The V10 edition is my favorite as the R8 line has improved so have the figures. Producing 525 horses from the 5.2 V10 in an enjoyable and fun way that any driver can use while feeling safe and secure that the car is not out to kill you like such cars as TVR. The figures are all solid 196mph and 0-60 in 3.5 seconds which is all great but, I really like this car but feel it is not a Ferrari and Lamborghini standard, and maybe that is why the price stayed in the range of the Corvette and the Aston Martin vantage. This car is not here to rip the skin off your face around a race track even though it can certainly perform there. This car is to look great, sound great, feel great using it every day. Audi made sure that this sports car could fit golf clubs in the trunk or a suitcase for weekend escapes. It was made to have the performance of a real racer but be driven at the speed limit down Hollywood boulevard so everybody can see you and what a car to be seen in.
