Audi R8 MK1

A naturally aspirated V8 or V10 classic, mated to a gated manual shifter or automatic transmission. The MK1 R8 was an instant classic.

It’s 2006. Audi has made many GT vehicles, estate, and luxury saloon cars. To everyone’s surprise, the Audi R8 was quite a change in direction: a mid engined, purpose built sports car from the ground up.

Earning it’s stripes as a concept car for Le Mans, the R8 debuted in 2003. It was almost unchanged from the concept. The R8 is a relatively unassuming car from the outside - as far as mid engined sports cars are concerned. Getting behind the wheel, it is immediately apparent that they are entirely unique. Ready a willing to reach the highest ends of power band and rev range.
