The AUDI R8 (2007-12) 2DR SPYDER QUATTRO 4.2 FSI V8 EU5 430 RTRON AUTO6 is a two-seat, open-top supercar, rather than a practical hatchback or family SUV. In the UK used-car market it sits in the premium sports-car bracket, offering dramatic looks and everyday road manners in a rare convertible package. Best suited to enthusiasts seeking weekend thrills, it is less practical for families. Its V8 sound, four-wheel drive and automatic gearbox deliver confidence and character. Against the Porsche 911 Cabriolet, the R8 is especially striking for its bold styling and unusual engine placement.
