This is the car that is touted to be the one that will finally beat Porsche, as the best supercar ever made. It had been first introduced in Europe in 2006 but this summer, Audi R8 will finally be available in America and would burn those interstate highways like no supercar would. In its acclaim of Audi R8, Evo Magazine states that “Audi humbles Porsche. A new dawn starts today.” In 2007, another popular auto magazine, Autocar named it as the Best Handling Car and Fastest Car In The World. Audi R8 is powered by 4.2 L FSI V8 developing 420 PS (414 hp/309 kW), the same engine used in the B7 Audi RS4. Above all, it’s the best looking and the sharpest car I’ve ever sighted for a very long, long time. If I imagine myself as to what a perfect sports car should be, then Audi R8 fits that feature to a T. (image from http://autoshow.autos.msn.com/)
