Audi R8
The R8 coupe, with its unquestionably elegant forms, has already won every important award possible since its launch two years ago. For 2010, Audi adds another level of desirability by offering a new 525 horsepower V10 engine, which makes driving this sports car even more intoxicating. Equipped with an all-wheel drive system, ultra-powerful brakes, and very rigid platform, we thought the 4.2-litre R8 was unmatched, but this is no longer true: now, there is a V10-equipped R8!
