Audi R8
Of all super cars, the R8 is undeniably the most elegant, most fun to drive and most versatile thanks to its quattro AWD. Not only that, but it’s available as a coupe or cabriolet, the latter being just as attractive with the roof up or down. The less expensive model is equipped with a 4.2L V6, while the more athletic 5.2 is powered by a 525-hp V10. Finally, the GT gets a 560-hp engine.
