Audi R8: Road tested

Here's another road test report with the Audi R8.

The 2008 Audi R8 is a lot like other exotic-looking sports cars: Priced in the six figures and awesome looking.

But the two-seat R8 is unexpected, too: It's comfortable to ride in, if you don't mind sitting low to the pavement, and it's sporty and taut without being harsh and punishing.

Just remember to watch the speedometer. With a 420-horsepower V-8 and a slight, 3,600-pound weight, the aluminum-bodied R8 is the fastest production Audi ever, with a 0-to-60-mph time of just 4.4 seconds and a top speed of 187 miles an hour.
