The Audi R8 is an all-wheel-drive, mid-engined supercar that shares a platform and numerous other mechanical components with the Lamborghini Gallardo. Despite its high performance capabilities, the R8's user-friendly nature and comfortable cabin actually make it suitable as a daily driver.
First introduced in 2008, the R8 now features Spyder (convertible) and V10 variants.
Recent Changes
For the latest model year, the R8 gains available painted red brake calipers, a new Quilted Leather package in silver, and a new diamond-stitched Alcantara headliner.
