8. Audi R8
The sportscar world was very surprised when Audi presented the first-generation R8. Nobody expected such a bold move from Audi and such a great sports car. The Audi R8 is a supercar with its mid-mounted V8 engine and design but at sports car prices that are making it available to a wider audience.
The engine itself is a true piece of art, a naturally aspirated 4.2 liter V8 and 420 HP. Packed in lightweight body and mated to perfect dual-clutch gearbox, R8 V8 was capable of attacking some Italian exotics with no problem.
