Audi R8
The sports car world was stunned when Audi presented the first-generation R8. Nobody expected such a bold move from Audi and a great sports car. The Audi R8 is a supercar with its mid-mounted V8 engine and design but at sports car prices that make it available to a broader audience (via Audi).
The engine is a true art piece. It is a naturally aspirated 4.2 liter V8 with 420 HP. Packed in a lightweight body and mated to a perfect dual-clutch gearbox, the R8’s V8 was capable of attacking some Italian exotics with no problem.
