I will definitely buy one if I have the money. I love the styling. I saw a silver version with carbon fibre side blade. It just looks so much better and smaller on the road under natural lighting. And that V8 sound, I can hear it through the noisy diesel engine of the bus I was in.

In every single drive review I have read, it has been described as one very serious driving machine, that performs on the road as well as on the track, and unlike previous Audi performance cars, the driver receives detail feedback from the car and he is fully involved in action, controlling every aspect of the car.

I am not lucky enough to have driven one, but judging from all the reviews I have read, the R8 is a true driver’s car, and for that I want one. The stunning styling comes as a bonus.
