Audi R8

Crafted from the rib of the Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi’s luscious R8 supercar is beautiful to behold, easy to live with, and simply marvelous to drive. A midcycle update keeps styling fresh, while a lightweight, 550-hp “V-10 Plus” coupe model joins the lineup for 2014. Both coupe and roadster models remain available with carry-over 430-hp V-8 or 525-hp V-10 engines paired to either a gated six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. Regardless of how it comes, the R8 is pure lust.
