This is something I have been working towards for a long time. This is a phenomenal car. Zero complaints on anything and would recommend the R8 to anyone getting into that kind of vehicle!May 15, 2023

The R8 is a modern day classic that will forever be known for its naturally aspirated V10, which exudes a symphony from the sport exhaust. Since it’s inception in 2008/2009, Audi’s halo car has been as competitive as its German rivals in both street cars and race circuits. The days of the V10s are numbered with Audi new e-tron and EU’s restrictive emissions regulations. So picking one up now might very well be your last opportunity to experience the same engine enjoyed by Italian cousin: Lamborghini Huracan. Apr 27, 2021
