Final Drive: 2015 Audi R8 V10 Spyder - Autos.ca

The 2015 R8 V10 Spyder represents the end of an era for super cars. ) increased driver skill, we will never see another new machine like this Audi halo car. Before the R8 follows suit with the tech for efficiency and speed mantra – and be assured the new car will surely be quicker, faster, more efficient, taste great and be less filling – let’s celebrate what makes a car like the R8 a true super car. 0-100 km/h in about 4 seconds and a top speed of 313 km/h remain very impressive and in line with other big-buck Euro sports machines. And the R8 still has the looks to turn a lot of heads, even when finished in the rather subdued Suzuka Grey hue of our test car. This is not the car one buys to gain the advantage over his or her wealthy friends in posting fastest laps at the local track. Nor is it even the car that will always be guaranteed the primo valet spot up front. Rather, this is the car that conjures up images and sensations of what it might’ve been like to be a Le Mans driver decades ago. Source: www.autos.ca
