Review: Audi R8 4.2 FSI

Looking like an alien descending from the heavens, the low-slung silver bullet’s V8 rumbled up my block. The Audi R8 had arrived.

It is quite possibly the coolest, contemporary automotive design that has graced the industry’s presence in some time. But, let us define cool. The R8 has a real different feel to it than other supercars. Perhaps it is the 24 LEDs that are encrusted below the Xenon bulbs? Maybe it is the side blade – which is a genius device in making the R8 appear shorter. Wrong again.

What makes the R8 set apart from other mid-engined exotics is the futuristic look to it. Rather than a 2009 model year, it appears as though it is from 2050 when cars should be flying.

Love this car!!!! But can't purchase it. Morally, it has a HUGE carbon footprint, and it will totally go against everything Pontiff All Gore preaches.

What is lighter, faster, more powerful, more fuel efficient, can pull harder corners, is less then half the price, while selling more units then the the R8?

Looks can be deceiving.
