"Audi's stunning R8 super sports car is now a production reality, able to sprint from 0-100km/h in just 4.6 seconds, which is edging very close to the Ferrari F430 and also the Lamborghini Gallardo (the latter of which, ironically, is owned by VW/Audi). Featuring the direct injection 4.2-litre V8 engine also used in the 4.8 second RS4, the R8 takes all that was good about the RS 4 and adds a good dose of exotica to proceedings - mid-mounted engine, aerodynamic body shape, swish interior.

I recently spent a week driving Audi's RS 4, which features the same 309kW 4.2-litre engine as the R8 profiled on this page, and there's no denying the FSI V8's performance capabilities. It's a tractable motor too (able to accelerate from 50km/h in 6th gear spinning as low as 1000rpm!) and frighteningly quick. And unlike the RS 4, the new Audi R8 sports car isn't restricted to 250km/h either.

Another interesting aspect of the R8's move from concept to reality is it's manufacture. Unlike many production sports car's, the R8 will be built on a "small-lot production line in a specially constructed new block at the Audi plant in Neckarsulm," according to Audi. Everything from the construction of the body shell to the R8's final assemblage will be completed in a similar vein to a craft workshop. "Small teams of specialists accompany every step of production, subjecting every part and component to intense scrutiny," says Audi.

Excuse me while I salivate...

Being an Audi driver for many years you begin to appreciate not only the car but everything there is to the Audi.
