I test drove the Audi R8 courtesy of Prestige Car Club last April, and was hooked. After returning a ridiculous number of occasions throughout the summer hiring both the R8 V8 and R8 V10 edition it was clear what my new hobby was. So much so I bought a one at the end of last summer from Audi Victoria and have not looked back since. It's the perfect everyday supercar, great looking car both inside and out, great handling on the road, and reasonably priced. Would recommend. Along with Audi Victoria and supercar hire company Prestige Car Club

Audi R8 4.2 quattro is an all round every day supercar, more head and leg room than a lambo, small boot though. Audi magic,all round every day supercar

The Audi R8 has exceeded my expectations, it is a joy to drive be it around town or on the open road.
Choosing your specification is not easy, as there were no cars around but as said above it can take the black leather, and the two light interiors are very light in the flesh, so not very practical for everyday use.
Extras. Some you would have thought would have been standard are not. eg. stainless steel pedals, and heated seats.
For me one extra well worth having was the advanced audi assisted parking, this is a reversing camera (comes up on the muti media screen which is a standard fitment) as well as the sensors front and rear. It is brilliant, when coming out of my drive the wide angle on the camera lets you see down the road when cars are parked on the roadside, as well as being able to park with confidence.
You need magnetic ride so as to give a smooth ride all the time, otherwise the suspension is for 187 mph capability constantly, when you think about it. Yes it is a lovely ride all the time with the magnetic ride option.
The ac and dehumidify capability in my TTs was good but this is in another league.
R Tronic is excellent, better than the DSG in my 3.2TT in my opinion.
Hope this is some help to any future R8 customers.
