The Simply Stunning Audi R8
Throughout the history of the automotive industry there have been a number of sports cars that have just stood out from the rest. Think of the Lamborghini Diablo, the Ferrari Testarossa, and the Jaguar XJ220 etc. These are cars, which have become huge candidates for the title of the “best ever sports car” and have also been at the forefront of conversation for many car enthusiasts. Well it is time to add another vehicle to that list but this time it comes from an unlikely source, Audi, in the form of the superb Audi R8. Simply put, the R8 is astonishing and comes with an equally astonishing price tag! It appears to be a cross between a TT and an RS4 –but with a swagger that can only be found in the types of cars listed above (Lamborghini, Ferrari and Jaguar etc). With V8 and V10 engines available, the R8 is very much a step up from a regular new or used Audi vehicle. Initially though, a 4.2 litre engine was included until the upgrade took place. The vehicle uses Audi’s Quattro system (manufacturing of the unit actually took place at Audi’s Quattro GmbH subsidiary company) and comes with a longitudinal mounted mid-engine. Of the cars in the current market, even those in the new / used Audi markets, the R8 is by far the stand out candidate in the industry for overall road performance. As noted above, the only negative that comes with the Audi R8 is the price tag (starting from around £82,500) and by the time the required extra features are added, this could well reach the £100,000 mark. Therefore a used Audi R8 might be a more feasible option to those that want to purchase the car – but cannot afford the RRP of a new version. Even so, it seems as though deep pockets will also be required in this situation! Nonetheless, this is one used Audi that would be a worthwhile investment!
