R8

The Everyday Supercar That Rewrote the Rules

When the R8 was launched in 2006, the concept of a supercar you could drive daily was still considered a contradiction. The R8 changed that. A mid-mounted naturally aspirated V10, quattro all-wheel drive, and a magnetic ride suspension that could be genuinely comfortable — it proved you didn't have to suffer to go fast. Its side blade design and LED daytime running lights influenced car design for a decade. Our model highlights the signature side blades and V10 engine cover detail.
