The Rambunctious R8

How many of us have always dreamt of driving a fuel efficient sedan with bountiful cargo space? Likely not nearly as many of us that have been dreaming of Lamborghinis and Ferraris. Sports cars are not only what our dreams are made of, theyre also what car manufacturers are made of. Releasing a hot new super car is the perfect way to incite excitement as well as a choice opportunity for automakers to showcase their capabilities. Even more delightful, this outlet also provides an apt opportunity for automakers to exercise their more rambunctious design ideas.


Alas, supercars are normally paired with an equally super price tag, require equally super service, and generally just aren’t designed to meet your day to day driving needs. The R8, however, is actually sold for a relatively low price and offers a bountiful network of dealers. The R8 is also reliable and comfortable enough to be used daily, and paired with Audis phenomenal all-wheel drive system, this sports car is primed to be your daily driver all year round.

The R8 is immediately recognizable, sporting Audis status quo angular body style with piercing headlights and ornate wheels. And just like in many higher end performance cars, you can peek back at the powerhouse through a window tucked just behind the drivers seat. As this is an apt car for your daily driving, the cabin is plenty comfortable and styled to Audis sharp standards of clean and precise design.


The R8 is all new and by far the most powerful Audi production car ever built. For 2017, the R8 features a 5.2 L DOHC V10 fitted with direct injection. The 5.2 L generates 540 horsepower and 398 lb-ft of torque, and goes 0-60 in just 3.5 seconds! The V10 plus model weighs 77 pounds less and has an incredible output of 610 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of torque. The V10 plus can rocket from 0-60 in an exhilarating 3.2 seconds.

Audis 2017 R8 is in the big leagues, no question about it. That doesn’t mean you have to stop dreaming though, as the MSRP starts off at a humble $162,900. Ready for your test drive? Visit us here for easy scheduling.
