Living the R8 dream!

Everyone has a dream car. Well, almost everyone. It’s 2011 and our favourite at the moment would be the Audi R8. Okay, there are more expensive, more exclusive cars in the world today. But my idea of the best car is not its price or its exclusivity, but its overall feel as a complete car.

So first things first. The R8 looks stunning. With all the LED treatment in the head lamp and tail lamps, the car has the distinctive looks that only new generation Audis have. We specially like the contrasting colour blade behind the doors that serve both an aerodynamic and design purpose. The rear end with the quad exhaust outlets looks absolutely fantastic. Also, the automatic spoiler which comes up at high speeds improves stability and braking drastically. It creates downforce which keeps the car stable at high speeds. The R8 is a super car, so statistics are hard to ignore. 400 plus bhp, a top speed of more than 300 km/ph and a 0 to 100 sprint of 3.8 seconds ends the debate.

The R8 is neither cheap nor is it mass produced. Expensive, yet exclusive. What really matters is the combination of beauty and brawn. And that’s where the R8 scores.
