Audi R8 - Overview
The R8 was named Automobile Magazine's 2008 Automobile of the Year and was a finalist for the 2008 World Car of the Year. A new V10 may be in the works for 2009. The Audi R8 is a mid-engine sports car, which means its V8 is placed between the rear and front axles. This results in a favorable weight distribution that improves vehicle stability and traction.
Despite its unique styling, good value, comfortable seating, and excellent handling, the R8 tends to rank in the bottom half of its competitive class. Look elsewhere for better rear visibility and better-performing transmission options.
