A Jewel of a Car
Silver/Carbon Blade/Black interior, every option offered. The R8 is designed, engineered, and built beautifully. The engine is very smooth and revs like a 4-cylinder with the power of a V-8. Handling is great with mid-engine & low polar moment. The car is so confidence-inspiring that you want to go 10/10th's through every curve and turn. V-10 power might be welcomed but the car is very well- balanced and quick with the V-8. You do need to keep the revs up past 4000 to extract max power & fun. The seats are the best I've felt in an exotic, as comfortable as my A8L. Lots of comfort for two but not much space for things. Footwell space is also minimal, especially on the passenger side.
Long Term Believer
OH for the love of a car!! The Audi R8 1st Generation is truly "ART ON WHEELS"!! Audi's First Gen R8 will be a history maker well into it's 3rd and 4th Generations. Much has been said about the 1st Gen Tiptonic Automatic Transmission but after 13,000+ miles I would buy this Supercar all over again. Absolutely no transmission problems with regular maintenance and care. It's the Best Daily Driver Sports Car on the market even 7 years later. I plan to own this car indefinitely as it will most surely be a sought after Investment Grade Classic Car in 20 years time. This 1st Gen R8 will be known for putting Audi back into the luxury market of quality built cars. The versatility of the vehicle on the track as well as touring to the local wineries makes this vehicle a very fun vehicle to own. Not to mention the looks and attention you get when driving it. The car is also easily adoptable to making the V8 into a howling muscle car or with many after market add-ons a show piece worthy of any high end car show. From a practicality view it most definitely blows the doors off any Lambo and is much less common than any Porsche. The corvettes of 2009 don't even compare to the drivability and road hugging capability of this unique car. Anyway you look at it the 1st Gen R8 will take your breath away and if not careful take you up to an easy 90mph before you see the rotating red lights of your local's finest coming up behind you. Coupe or convertible you can't go wrong with owning an R8.

Audi, unexpected elegence.
This car is a dream come true. Everything about it is stylish and classy with a sort of dirty elegence. When I first sat in the drivers seat of this beauty and felt the leather I knew that this was beyond ordinary. With its superior handling and stream-lined body style this is truly a car to be appreciated.
Audi R8 First 3 Months Review
This car is simply amazing in every regard except fuel economy, but I guess that is to be expected with this caliber of vehicle. Styling and Performance are incredible. Gets looks and attention everywhere it goes. This takes some getting use to.
first Gen Audi R8 something special
Overall this is simply an amazing driver. Sound is a bit disappointing but aftermarket kits are abundant. The legendary Quattro all wheel drive system pulls you into corners and allows you to accelerate out much quicker than other "super" cars. This car is still a head turner and still quick. Stay away from the auto trans the 6 speed (gated) is so good. Values have basically bottomed out in the last 18 months, good time to grab one!
