Is Audi R8 worth buying?
Yes, the Audi R8 is a good car. All models come with a throaty V10 engine that provides hair-raising acceleration and gobs of power. The R8 has impressive handling and a smooth ride.
Is an Audi R8 a supercar?
The Audi R8 is a supercar from a dying breed. As makers add turbochargers to their cars to meet ever-stricter emissions targets, the naturally aspirated engine is falling out of favour. In some ways, the R8 is a fantastic last hurrah.

Performance. One thing you may not realize is that the 2017 Lamborghini Huracan and the 2017 Audi R8 both share the same powerplant. This is a 5.2-liter naturally aspirated V10 engine that pumps out a massive 602 horsepower. Taking this one step further, each also comes with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.
What car is replacing the Audi R8?
There you have it. ‘If’ Audi builds a successor to the R8 – and all the clues are that it absolutely plans to – then it’s goodbye to that magnificent 5.2-litre V10, and hello e-motors for propulsion. The R8 is going fully ‘e-tron’. That’s news from the boss of Audi RS himself, Sebastian Grams.
Which is faster Audi R8 or Porsche 911?
Both cars have launch control, and with four-wheel-drive traction off the line, the R8 was quicker than the 911, taking 3.0 seconds to cover 0-60mph. That’s almost supercar territory.
Can you drive an R8 everyday?
The Audi R8 makes a surprisingly good option for a daily driver. The cabin isn’t very large and it isn’t a good option if you are looking to have more than one passenger, but the two seats are comfortable and roomy enough to make a short or even long commute tolerable.
What car is better than an Audi R8?
The 2021 Audi R8 is an approachable supercar with a dash of elegance to go with its sonorous V-10 engine. Dollar for dollar, the $59,995 2021 Chevrolet Corvette is the best performance value around. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 4-Door Coupe is a worthy rival for the best performance sedans on the market.
Why is Audi not reliable?
The most common faults appear to be with the engine, cooling and heating system, electrical components and fuel system. While that may seem like cause for concern (these are some of the most expensive parts to repair), we can perhaps explain why Audi scores less highly for things like electrical components.
