edmunds TESTED
The 2020 Audi R8 V10 Performance easily earns high scores, and not just because it's a performance powerhouse. Its athleticism doesn't come at the expense of refinement or drivability, and its lustworthy status is upheld through craftsmanship and technology, justifying a $200,000 price tag.
The higher-performing R8 Performance gives up some comfort and niceties, which is why we suggest checking out the base R8.

2020 Audi R8 performance 2dr Coupe AWD (5.2L 10cyl 7AM)
I’ve driven many GTRs (FBO to 1500HP) and even a 2019 Nismo. The handling, refinement and sound of that V10 is something that separates the R8 from the rest.
We have a limited number of reviews for the 2020 Audi R8, so we've included reviews for other years of the R8 since its last redesign.
