Audi R8 mk1 Review
The most surprising performance car ever?
The original Audi R8 shared its mid-engined platform with the Lamborghini Gallardo but combined it with Audi's own V8 petrol engine. Along with incredible styling, balanced handling, a lovely six-speed manual gearbox, and surprisingly easy manners, it made the R8 a true revelation when it was launched in 2006. In this CarGurus UK review Dan Prosser drives Audi UK's heritage R8 mk1 V8 manual and explains what makes it such a special car.

Pros
Stunning looks
Choice of coupe and convertible body styles
Sensational to drive
Cons
The V10 is not much quicker than the V8
Unsurprisingly, the R8 is very thirsty
Be aware of some high parts prices
The CarGurus verdict
With the Porsche 911 now so ubiquitous that it’s next to invisible out on the road, the R8 makes a spectacular alternative for anyone wanting a supercar to use on a daily basis. Despite that usability, the Audi’s mid-engined configuration makes it feel and look exotic in the same way as a Lamborghini or Ferrari does, even if the R8’s cabin isn’t as special as those of the two Italians.
The driving experience is exceptional, with raging performance from all models accompanied by an evocative soundtrack. That the R8 is also largely reliable and can be serviced at your local Audi dealer, is a very welcome bonus in this lofty sector of the sports car market.
