Purposeful, modern appearance, convincing performance, excellent ride/handling balance.
Not quite as involving as it should be, poor visibility, lack of storage space.
Audi has scored a direct hit on the supercar establishment with its first shot. Not perfect, but exceptionally capable and very, very desirable.
Analysts predict that the average R8 will still be worth 47% of its new price after three years, a residual value which compares favourably with, for example, the BMW M6 and Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. But will it really be as desirable as a Vantage, or other more exotically-badged super-coupes?
