Audi R8: Roadtest

Tuesday, February 20, 2007

The guys from AudiWorld have done a roadtest with the Audi R8. Nice read, great pics! We love the Audi R8 in white.

We were excited to finally see and drive this car in person, and as with most cars it looked a hell of lot better in person than in the press and auto show photography. We particularly liked the high contrast of a white or red body with carbon fiber side panels, but of course when it comes to the unique side blade every owner will get to choose for him or herself. The sleek sports car definitely shows its aerodynamic predisposition and includes a prominent rear diffuser.

Inside are the usual high end amenities, including a full telematics system and an optionally available Bang & Olufsen sound system. Although our test cars were pre-production Euro / North American hybrids there was still a very close attention to interior detail shown. Each vehicle demonstrated just how good things get when hand-assembly is part of the build process.
