The Car

The Audi R8, the mid-engine V8 supercar that is made from a blend of carbon fibre, magnesium and aluminium, the car that Audi produced to compete with the likes of the Porsche 911 Carrera 2S.

Now, it’s not the speed that impresses you most of all, it's the way this thing feels through the corners and that V8 tower of power is just mesmerizing. There’s so much to admire, the aesthetically satisfying design, with the futuristic looking side scoops and the sleek lines and low ride height. This German piece of engineering just makes me feel that this is how a modern-day supercar should look like, it's here to do business.

Anyway, time for a point of contention… that the V8 sounds better than the V10. The flagship’s 5.2-litre has this wonderful fluted, mellifluous, woolfy tone which is undeniably lovely, but the 4.2-litre V8 sounds a bit more dangerous. It barks and has an angry, raucous edge that really gets under your skin and makes bits of you tingle.

Lets not forget, this is the car of choice of Tony Stark and if Iron man chooses to blast around in one, then it has to be 'top of the bill'. As far as I'm concerned, this car is almost without fault, it’s absolutely stunning and the experience will be something that you will want to do again and again.
