Audi R8 First Drive

Introduction

Audi's supercar is a midengined two-seater that shares components with the Lamborghini Gallardo. The regular R8 is powered by a 430-hp, 4.2-liter V8 mated to either a six-speed manual or automatic. Stepping up to the R8 5.2 version brings a 525-hp, 5.2-liter V10. Full-time all-wheel drive with a rear bias is standard. Acceleration and braking capabilities are impressive, and the ride is very firm but not too punishing. Steering is communicative and responsive, and the car is extremely nimble. The shifter takes some getting used to. The cabin is snug but not confining, and is nicely trimmed in leather, aluminum, and carbon fiber. A convertible is also available.
