Audi's first true sports car: Grrrr8!

I'd like to tell you that the R8 has an overt personality, but it is so refined it evades standard definitions. It is subtler than its sibling the Lamborghini Gallardo, which is a teenager on steroids. The R8 manages a better all-around ride quality than its distant cousin the Porsche 911, in which a driver can practically taste the tarmac. And the R8 is better mannered than mid-engine Ferraris, bless their high-strung hearts.
