As Audi’s top model, the R8 sports car boasts a howling 562-hp V-10 engine just behind its snug two-seat cabin. It shares a lot with the Lamborghini Huracán, but the R8 is less flamboyantly styled. It’s also less engaging to drive, but buyers seeking a super car that they can drive daily may find the Audi’s refinement appealing. The interior is sparsely equipped, with all infotainment functions handled via the digital gauge cluster. The R8’s V-10 engine is offered in two strengths, both potent enough shake your eardrums with their otherworldly exhalations. The R8’s seven-speed dual-clutch automatic isn’t the smoothest gearbox. It occasionally downshifts too abruptly, causing neck-snapping acceleration followed by an immediate upshift. The base R8 comes standard with an adaptive suspension, while Performance models are fitted with a more aggressive fixed-damper setup. Both soak up bumps admirably and provide a comfortable ride that you could tolerate without fatigue on long trips. The R8’s supple nature comes with a drawback, however: In full-attack mode, it doesn’t handle corners as confidently as its rivals, feeling more unsettled than you’d expect a supercar to be. The standard steering setup is direct and relays information from the road to the driver’s hands with sufficient feel.
