Why the Audi R8 V10 stands alone in our fleet
The R8 shares its platform and engine with the Lamborghini Huracán, but its character is different. It delivers the same raw performance (0-100 in 3.1 s, top speed above 320 km/h) with a more accessible daily drive: quattro all-wheel drive, decent visibility, front trunk usable for two carry-ons.
It's the default pick for those who want the supercar experience without the compromises of an Italian counterpart. The naturally aspirated V10 remains the main argument: winding up to 8,000 rpm with the exhaust open on the 40 East or through the Ville-Marie tunnel is something few new cars can still offer.
