Audi’s R8 is styled unlike anything else on the road, with sweeping arcs and muscular lines that are more suited to a concept car than a road-going one. Timeless architecture has truly taken the place of big wings and scoops, while luxury has replaced compromise inside the supercar cockpit.
If you opt for the R tronic transmission, know that this is not the same unit as Volkswagen/Audi’s dual-clutch DSG gearbox. Shifts do take some time, and there is some computerized indecisiveness that can be annoying in traffic.
