The 2008 Audi R8 ranks 6 out of 8 Super Luxury Sports Cars. This ranking is based on our analysis of 31 published reviews and test drives of the Audi R8, and our analysis of reliability and safety data. The R8 is a bona fide near-exotic sports car that’s a winner on the track and is also surprisingly easy to drive around town. Its aggressive styling and comfortable seats are big hits, and criticisms are few — so much so that the R8 is poised to compete with exotic sports cars costing more than twice its base price. Altogether, the R8 ranks in the middle of its class.
The all-new Audi R8 is available competitor to iconic and exotic sports cars such as the Porsche 911 and Ferrari F430. It’s Audi’s first attempt at both a mid-engine sports car and an exotic, with the R8 sharing basic components with Lamborghini’s mid-engine Gallardo.
