The 2008 Audi R8. The ultimate execution of Audi engineering. Race inspired and derived from the Le Mans dominating R8 machine. Built from the ground up to assume its rightful position as the leader in innovation,  design, technology, and performance.

2008 Audi R8 Reviews:

Forbesautos Review the Audi R8 and gave out”Audi — a subsidiary of Volkswagen — has not released other details about how it will turn the Le Mans quattro into the R8, and what specifications the production car will have. Frankly, part of the reason for running a piece about the new vehicle is to revisit the glory of the showcar.”

Pros:    Engineering Perfection
Cons:    wish the V10 was available

Special Features & Interior Design

The R8 continues Audi’s tradition of originality in interior design, employing a cockpit-style theme that the company calls monoposto, an arc of controls that wraps around the driver in the style of a single-seat racing car. Aluminum is a prominent element of the R8’s creative surface treatments, and the flat-bottomed steering wheel is certainly unique. The car’s long wheelbase and roomy cabin allow room for tall drivers, and long doors ease access. Unusual for a high-end sports car, the R8 offers plenty of storage spaces and useful cupholders. Audi says there’s space behind the seats to store two golf bags. There’s also a small capacity (3.5-cubic-foot) front trunk.
