The Radar Site

Initially there was talk that Audi might not be allowed to release the V10 version as it will interfere with sales of the Lambo Gallardo.

The Audi team has really stepped up the latest version of their R8 to be viable competition with the other big boys on the circuit.With the V10 rated at 525 horse power, we are talking serious power. However Audi has taken the trouble of making the car very easy to drive.

This ultra powerful version of the R8 is capable of flying from zero to sixty mph in less than four seconds, but what makes it an even better alternative to the Porches, Lamborghinis and Ferraris of the world is that the power it brings is so nicely complemented by the incredible handling that you experience behind the wheel.

How Much? 

The price tag on the 2010 Audi R8 has jumped almost as much as the quality of the car and at nearly one hundred and fifty thousand dollars the price is another close point of comparison between the new R8 and the Porsche 911.The Porche 911 has always been seen as a tamer alternative to the F430 and Gallardo, but now despite its charm and heritage 911 must look carefully in its rear mirrors.For a sports cars the R8 V10 is the on the frienly side bugdet wise despite producing a competitive 525 hp. What an engine the R8 has. It is actually very similar to the racing version without making the car undrivable.

The Look 

As should be expected from a car with such a lofty price tag, the 2010 Audi R8 is beautiful both inside and out.The first R8 was good enough to earn car of the year status in some countries, an achievement not so many sports cars can boost about.Truth be told, there is very little to tell apart the V10 R8 from the original one. Not a bad thing as the cars is great looking inside and outside.

The 2010 Audi R8 is most likely the only one of the super-cars that has enough space to stow enough luggage for a week long holiday with nearly seven cubic feet of storage available, and the space that is occupied is loaded with features you’d be hard pressed to find in a car with a smaller price tag.

There are any number of options in order to accessorize or customize the new R8, but in reality you don’t really need any of them – the stock model comes complete with heated seats, a GPS navigation system, an incredible sound system, automatic air and a built in alarm.

The 2010 R8 is off the charts when it comes to power, handling and performance but it also gets incredibly high marks in both safety and design further cementing its place at the top of the list for anyone who wants to own a super-car but has needs for an automobile that can be driven every day.
