Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro: Why god created envy!

Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro
Great test drive report here with the Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro, an absolute must read for every car fan! Great photos too.
How much is half a second and 105 horsepower worth to you? You'll want to ponder that question if you're in the enviable position of having to decide between the V-8-propelled version of Audi's R8 two-seat, mid-engine exotic or the newly introduced V-10 edition. When the cars are similarly configured, the ten's two additional cylinders command a premium of nearly $10K apiece.

Are they worth it?

It's at this point our test drivers get all philosophical and existential. Is a 2001 Beringer Private Reserve a "better" Cabernet than a 2002 Quintessa? Do we prefer Angelina Jolie to Jennifer Connelly? "GoodFellas" or "The Sopranos"? It's debates such as these that keep the MT water cooler boiling.
