If your idea of a supercar is one with concept-car styling, aggressive performance and an interior filled with creature comforts, the Audi R8 is an appealing choice. Perhaps more significantly, it’s an exotic that’s easy to live with on a daily basis, a car that is at home on both road and track.
If you choose the R tronic automatic transmission, know that shifts take some time and its indecisiveness can be annoying in rush-hour traffic. Purists who must have rear-wheel drive will need to look elsewhere, though Audi’s all-wheel-drive system in the R8 is highly rear-biased.
