Safety - What the Auto Press Says

Neither the federal government nor insurance industry has crash tested the 2010 R8. However, it features loads of standard safety equipment -- including an Electronic Stabilization Program and Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive system. Still, some reviewers complain of visibility issues.

  • "Poor visibility. The roof rolls down far enough that tall drivers will have to duck to see under the edge. And the engine in back means you can't see much when you look to the rear. The optional backup camera will help." -- USA Today
  • "It's impossible to see where the front and rear of the R8 ends, so it's a good idea to get the optional Premium Package to avoid body damage. It has Audi's parking system, which warns when the R8 is getting too close to stationary objects. " -- MSN
