Which one will you miss the most?
Starting with the big one. With over 44,000 units built across 18 years and two generations, the very last R8 rolled off the production line last March. Audi's 'budget' answer to the world's supercar consensus will be sorely missed,
We will miss you, old friend
We've known this day was coming for a good while now, but it still doesn't make it any easier: The Audi R8 is officially dead.Well technically, we still don't know for sure if Audi has any plans to

How’s this for a rally car
We've seen several great motoring revivals this year, and a return to form for safari supercars has been one of the best. But while the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato and the Porsche 911 Dakar are great in their own right, they're
What a fitting goodbye it is
eaThis is the Audi R8 V10 GT RWD, and it's more momentous than it may appear. This is not just a powered-up, slightly lighter special edition R8. This is Audi's final V10 supercar.The company has confirmed that the

Agree?
What makes or breaks a supercar's mass appeal? There's the performance, of course, and then you have the design-we reckon these two qualities both hover around the top of the list of boxes to tick, yes?The Audi R8

Did you see this on the road?
Last Sunday, some of you guys probably came across a massive convoy of supercars and performance rides strutting their stuff south of Metro Manila. As you probably guessed, all of these vehicles converging in one spot wasn't a coincidence.What you

That would be the R8 V10 Performance RWD. Took them long enough
Nope, this is not a hardcore track-attack limited edition, like the Audi R8's extrovert Lamborghini Huracan STO cousin. That car, it appears, is waiting in the wings...This is pretty much the rear-wheel-drive R8 as you know it,

As they say, better late than...
There's been something missing from the current generation of Audi R8. Not noise, not speed...something raw. While its sister car, the Lamborghini Huracan, has spawned the trick-aero Performante and the wild Huracan STO, Audi has been weirdly quiet on

Power’s up by around 30hp

A sad sight
Few things are more heartbreaking to a car lover than seeing amazing cars rotting away in some abandoned lot somewhere. It's sad enough coming across a dust-covered auto waiting for its owner in a parking garage, but coming across supercars

“We have decided to bring technology back to the lead”
Quattro. Aluminum bodies. TDi. Super-low-drag sedans. Audi had a habit of introducing world-beating engineering innovation. That gave the world the Ur-Quattro and A2 and R8. But then it sort of...stopped. And turned into a brand that was

A tribute to the Nürburgring
Apparently, it was three-time Formula 1 champion Jackie Stewart who first called Germany's Nürburgring the 'Green Hell.' Sixty or so years later, the nickname stands-the 20.8km Nordschleife, which runs through the heavily wooded Eifel Mountains, has changed

Sibling rivalry?
Normally, both of these cars are four-wheel-drive. Here, they're both rear-wheel-drive. Usually, because these are supercars, the manufacturers would find some tenuous justification for charging more money) for fewer driven wheels. But no, these two newcomers are
The automotive equivalent of mic drops
Coming along toward the end of each Mini Cooper generation's life cycle, we met the first GP (a supercharged fizzbomb weighing just 1,090kg) in 2006, and the GP2 sequel (a lairier, edgier prospect, turbocharged for more torque) in 2013, with
Drifting porn

What a lovely V10 this is
It did. When it was launched in 2018, the 'Rear Wheel Series' was a limited production run of 999 cars. Then last year, Audi facelifted the R8 range, giving it a sharper nose and some minor dynamic enhancements. Those actually had quite

Have you run out of stuff to do at home yet? If you've managed to complete a year's worth of Marie Kondo-ing in just a couple of weeks, then we guess by now you're already on the look
Would you dare put the top down and floor the throttle?
German tuner Wheelsandmore has been living up to its name recently. Although perhaps it should start referring to itself as Wheelsandahellofalotmore. Sorry.We make this terrible joke because of what you see above. Yes, it may look like a reasonably standard Audi
