Audi R8

Price $172,050 – $240,650
Fuel consumption 10.3 – 17.9 L/100km
The Car Guide rating 76%(view ratings)
An exceptional sports car, the R8 retains a classic formula with a naturally aspirated engine, whereas the RS e-tron GT uses an all-electric powertrain. Coupe and Spyder (convertible) variants are on the menu, both with a choice of rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. If the 532 horsepower from the 5.2-litre V10 are not enough for you, then go with the R8 V10 Performance that cranks out 602 horsepower.
