For successful entrepreneurs wanting something different from a Porsche 911 – this is it.
The new Audi R8 isn’t a concept – it can be ordered from December. Pricing is from £77,000.
The R8 is powered by 4.2-litre V8 FSI petrol engine. It produces 420PS. Which means 0-62mph in 4.6 seconds. That’s slightly quicker than a Porsche 911 3.8 Carrera S.
The R8’s power is transmitted to all four wheels thanks to the Audi quattro four-wheel drive system.
There is the choice of six-speed manual transmission. Or R tronic sequential-shift with paddle controls.
