By introducing the R8, Audi suddenly places itself in a category beyond that of BMW, Jaguar, Mercedes and Lexus and joins a completely different type of company in terms of competition, and that is Lamborghini, Maserati, Aston Martin. and others.
The R8 is a different kind of Audi, very different from the now famous but tired Audi TT. It is a car for those who enjoy driving fast and are likely to sell more models in Europe, where motorways are the dream of American drivers who own one of these cars.
I first saw the R8 in a showroom in Denver and thought at first it was just a prototype, showing its powerful engine through the rear window. But then I started seeing one here and there and I couldn’t help but turn my neck like I was looking at the girl from Ipanema.
The design is very tasteful both inside and out and trying it was like having delicious ice cream for the first time as a kid or even better, but the words I want to use would not be suitable for this article. The car handles as it should. Perfect. No corner is too fast for this ride and I’d say it’s one of the most desirable production cars in the world today. The price is also extremely reasonable for such a car at “only” $ 100K. That’s a lot less than if you compare it to some Ferraris and Aston Martin cars that don’t come home with you for less than $ 200K, so it’s actually quite “affordable.”
The car has a handle so serene on the road that it appears to have been glued to it, but some futuristic technology like electromagnets hold it firmly to the asphalt. Well, actually it is! The Audi R8 has electromagnetic dampers that can be adjusted by the driver, or should we say pilot? The driver can be adjusted for a more daily handling of shredding performance, whatever you choose, you can tell your R8 what you want and it will glide over any surface as if you are driving on perfect roads. The car is so well designed and Audi quattro technology is so firmly integrated into this powerful machine that the driver will only need to use the brakes in the tightest corners. With a 4.2-liter V8 engine that in turn generates 420 horsepower of sheer driving excitement, it can hit 60 mph in just 4.4 seconds.
If I had the $ 100,000 to shell out, I’d be running to the dealership right now to get my red version of one.
