Sharpened up for 2020, Audi's exceptional and accessible supercar just keeps getting better.
Power. You can never have too much of it. So when Audi decided to create their first ever rear-wheel drive car, how apt that it would be in a beastly sports car with a fire-breathing naturally aspirated V10. I first had the chance to experience the Audi R8 RWS at Phillip Island during the local launch...
Welcome to the inaugural CarAdvice Winners Circle, our debut annual award program showcasing our editorial team’s motoring highlight releases of the year. After some long and hard consideration of the pros and cons of more traditional award formats, it was ultimately reader and car industry feedback – through surveys, garage day chats and even a focus group – that moulded exactly the form Winners Circle would take...
The new 2019 Audi R8 V10 gains a power boost and a new aggressive visage, yet remains the 'everyday' supercar.
The Audi R8 Performance represents the pinnacle of the R8 range, quattro system present and accounted for, not to mention aggressive style and a screaming NA V10. Ferrari’s F8 Tributo – despite the turbocharger – is a very ‘Ferrari’ approach to the segment, with dramatic styling and blistering speed...
Which is the best high-performance Audi in the R and RS range? Let the arguments begin.
You told us you don't trust the traditional 'Car of the Year' format favoured by most publishers, and you wanted to know more about our own personal faves, objectivity be damned. Well, here it is. Get the full story right here. NOTE: This video was first published on December 18.
A 5.0-litre V10. A stonking 397kW. The sprint from 0-100km/h in 3.7 seconds. And it’s 50kg lighter than its quattro AWD big brother making it more nimble and agile. This is the rear wheel drive Audi R8 RWS. Unfortunately there are a distinct lack of Alps and snow capped peaks in the suburbs surrounding Sydney but there is something that the harbour city is certainly not lacking in...
I’m still genuinely amazed every time I lay eyes on a first-generation Audi R8. Its design really came to fruition in 2003 with the Audi Le Mans quattro concept. The production car, which followed three years later in 2006, didn’t deviate much from the original brief at all. Consider that the first-generation car was conceptualised at the turn of the century, then...
Audi R8 RWS and McLaren 540C duke it out to see which is the best 'affordable' everyday supercar.
The latest R8 V10 Plus, with an incredible 449kW and 560Nm from its naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10, is the most-powerful road car Audi has ever devised. On paper, it's also the quickest. But power and pace comes at a price: almost $390k – $389,616 to be exact – before on-roads or before you even think about ticking any options boxes...
Drive Car of the Year 2021 - Best Super Sports Car (over $100k) Finalists: Audi R8 Performance Ferrari F8 Tributo Porsche 911 Carrera Porsche 911 Turbo S After much debate and dissection, the judging team whittled the contender list down to three. No easy feat either, given the quality of the field at this end of the performance envelope...
The price of used cars has skyrocketed since the COVID-19 pandemic began, however there are still bargains around if you know where to look. Here are six exotic luxury and performance classics currently listed in the Australian classifieds for significantly less than you might have expected..
A Newcastle man has been arrested following a wild joyride through the streets of the regional NSW city. The 49-year-old allegedly stole an Audi R8 from a home in Merewether before embarking on a wild ride through suburban Newcastle. The entire journey was captured on the Audi R8’s dashcam video recorder, installed by the vehicle's owner...
Audi Australia has announced pricing and specification for its R8 supercar, due back in local showrooms in July 2020. The face-lifted R8 returns following an absence from the Australian market. CarAdvice understands this to be due to delays in completing emissions and homologation processes in Europe, with Audi giving priority to its higher-selling vehicles...
