2011 Audi R8 4.2 FSI Spyder Manual - Road Test

Audi R8 is satisfying the rider, because while doing his first test drive is very satisfying.
Public reaction seldom factors into our vehicle reviews, but the response this R8 Spyder elicited was hard to ignore, and it was not only plentiful but uniformly positive.

As friendly and approachable as we tend to be—look at that handsome guy in the convertible, they must think—people don’t often toss out unsolicited opinions. But with this R8, smiles and thumbs up abounded; it was the ice-cream-truck effect
with a better soundtrack.
