If ever there was a car that deserved the title ‘everyday supercar’ the Audi R8 is it. That is not to damn it with faint praise – the 5.2-litre V10 engine is a bellowing jewel that thrusts the R8 to 60mph in 3.4 seconds, and on to the far side of 200mph. However, acceleration isn’t quite as visceral as that served up by some turbocharged rivals. Still, it grips strongly enough to wear out your neck muscles, and remains civilised enough to take the sting out of motorway trips.
If there’s a downside, you could argue that it doesn’t look as special (or make you feel as special) as some more exclusive rivals.
