"The second generation of the popular Audi R8 supercar has returned with a bang."

The newest Audi R8 has arrived and its magnificent 533bhp 5.2-liter V10 engine, it should be able to take 911 Turbo and Mercedes-AMG GT to the fight to rivals such as the Porsche.

Two versions of the car are available; already mentioned the standard model and an even more powerful R8 Plus, the same V10 engine has 602bhp tuned to produce. Both R8 with Audi quattro all-wheel drive as a standard feature, which means it is huge amounts of grip in corners and fast-shifting seven speed dual-cutch automatic produce a great game for the whole power of the V10.

the R8 benefits from expertise of Audi indoors, occupants a smooth, minimalist dashboard design with plenty of high-quality materials in the form of leather, carbon fiber and aluminum to. Audi 'Virtual Cockpit "was for the first time in the current Audi TT and the second generation R8 will also be seen, so that all driving information will be displayed on a TFT screen rather than traditional dials.

It is no surprise that the large, powerful engine of the R8 to hear mean and starting price of £ 0,000 neither purchase nor the car are to own cheap experience. if you supercar but in the market for one, then the R8 is undoubtedly an appealing package thanks to its striking looks, excellent build quality and impressive performance.

the R8 offers two people a small boat and enough storage space for a long weekend, but as with the running costs of the R8 is true to its sports car credentials in terms of practicality. As long as you do not need a lot of luggage, or more than one other person to carry, the car is easy enough to live with on a day to day thanks to the automatic transmission, which they as making traffic less fatiguing may be in sports cars with heavy couplings.

Although the R8 plus the strongest of the two is, the 532bhp of the standard R8 offers more than enough power and voltage for most people. We would especially recommend R8 Plus-only spending when you to take regularly for a distance the car, because it is one of the few environments in which you can actually use all the car's performance.

The newest Audi R8 is as brilliant as the original, but looks sharper and more cutting-edge feel. If you have to spend £ 0,000 on a sports car, as well as the big budget requires you to run the R8 should definitely be on your selection.

MPG, Rates & CO2 runs

2.2 / 5

A £ 130,000 supercar like the R8 will never be cheap to run

no matter which way you look at it, the R8 will not be cheap to run. Its huge 5.2 liter V10 petrol engine is a technical masterpiece, but still a less than stellar fuel consumption figure. It may take up to return 24.8mpg, while the more hardcore Plus version up to 23mpg capable.

CO2 emissions of 272 and 287 grams per kilometer for the standard and plus cars each, that you a whopping £ 515 be paid in annual road tax, while the maximum insurance group of 50 means that the R8 will not be cheap to cover.

By comparison, the Jaguar F-Type R's four-wheel-drive form able to 25mpg, while the Porsche 911 Turbo, which has four-wheel drive, can manage up to 29.1mpg.

on the plus side, Audi promises an all-electric R8 e-tron at some point, which should be in a position, 300 miles to do on a single charge.

motors, drive & Performance

4.6 / 5

Characterful and powerful engine is jointly disappointed with excellent grip and handling

If you want to play by your supercar, the Audi R8 is not. The 5.2-liter V10 engine is available in two power levels: 533bhp in the standard model or 602bhp in Plus. Either one is your pulse up and barks into life as soon as you press the start button. 0-62mph is covered in just 3.5 and 3.2 seconds, and top speed of the R8 is a dizzying 205 hours miles.

Whichever version you choose, has the R8 Audi quattro all-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. For additional contribution you can shift the gears yourself, the steering wheel controls, but the automatic changes are lightning fast. The quattro system ensures excellent grip in hard and are even nervous drivers some confidence in curves when in less than ideal conditions the R8 piloting.

The R8 shares its chassis with the Lamborghini Huracan is, but we believe that the Audi handles actually better, since it is much more agile feels speed. Its steering is light and precise, but feels artificially heavy, as if the power assistance is set too high. Other than that, however, the R8 is a very balanced and incredibly fast car.

Interior & Comfort

4.1 / 5

Impressive build quality and smart virtual cockpit function of Audi increases the interior of the R8

typically brilliant inner quality of Audi in the latest R8 is that simply exudes luxury supercar. You sit low in the sports seats and the dashboard wraps around you. It is brushed out of carbon fiber and aluminum inserts everywhere and the gearlever looks like the throttle out of a plane.

, the outstanding feature of the dashboard is the virtual cockpit system to be, which was first introduced on the Audi TT Coupé. It consists of a large 12.3-inch screen on which the instrument cluster would be usually found. This can in one place all things like the speedometer, infotainment and satellite navigation system to display. This means that a lot of controls are centered on the steering wheel - could take used leading to some more

Unlike this, the instrument panel is minimalist and clutter-free ;. the climate controls among only the buttons on the dashboard itself, but they are very rugged and feel to use me great.

practicality & trunk

2.5 / 5

There are some locations in the cabin, but the boat is very small

you do not buy a £ 0,000 supercar leads for its functionality, but also in comparison to its competitors, Audi badly. Since it is strictly a two-seater, there is no space behind the seats for all clutter other than a small shelf, but fortunately are a few generous cubbies in the center console and some door bins.

of boots on the nose of the car is located, but it is not exactly generous. There is enough room for a pair of small weekend bags, but little else. The room itself is quite deep, but its narrow opening and shape limits the items that you actually put into it.

reliability and safety

4 / 5

Tried -and-tested parts and a good reputation for security number in the favor of the R8 here

the R8 in too few numbers sold in our 2016 driver Power customer satisfaction survey to have marked, but Audi had a relatively unimpressive year, 21 of 32 manufacturers. A 23 Place for reliability is disappointing to see, although owners strong levels of build quality did report an area where Audi came sixth.

Although new, this R8 shares its mechanical parts with the Lamborghini Huracan, while some internal technology as the virtual cockpit, has in other Audi models.

should in terms of safety, the strong body shell of the car to protect occupants help in a serious accident, while the usual array of airbags already appeared, traction control and electronic stability control means that the R8 should be very. The quattro all-wheel drive system provides excellent grip in sharp corners, which should also help inexperienced drivers from the odd sticky situation.

price, price-performance ratio and options

3 / 5

value good compared to other supercars, but careful with options be

The so-called "entry-level" R8 will come back around £ 0,000 without any options, wait with the full-fat plus model at around £ 15,000 more on themselves. Besides the extra power of the R8 Plus Carbon fiber side blades, ultra-high-performance carbon-ceramic brakes and 'bucket' style gets sport seats over the standard R8. Options include a wide range of alloy wheels, various sprays that "Audi exclusive" options and the ability to change the color of the side blades. Opt for 20-inch alloy wheels and "Gloss Carbon side blades on your standard R8 and will set you back another £ 5,000.

Audi also offer packages that can help to improve the styling, interior and handling of your R8. the Sport Plus Pack, you for around £ 3,500, throws in Audi Magnetic Ride, Dynamic Steering and sport exhaust systems. Other packages include the sound and comfort packs, throwing stereo in a Bang and Olufsen and leather racing seats respectively

We would like to point out that with the list of options is not carried away -. you could potentially another £ 20,000 added to the list price if you're not careful

the standard car already has a good. price-performance ratio compared to other supercars. for example, the Lamborghini Huracan, the parts tells the R8 is more expensive around £ 50,000.
