    First Take

    Freshened for 2020, the R8 represents the road-going distillation of Audi’s storied motorsports history. The most powerful production model in the company’s history, the R8 is a true supercar, with all the extraordinary performance that label implies. It is pure, visceral, and seductive yet, it can function daily in the real world without just being limited to Nurburgring fantasies on sparse weekend escapes.
