The
top-performing Audi R8 pulls the same 610 horsepower and 413 lb-ft of
torque from the same 5.2-liter V-10 engine found in the Lamborghini Húracan—and
in fact, thanks not just to that shared engine but also a shared
chassis, these two cars are very close to being one and the same. And
yet this mid-engined, all-wheel-drive Audi halo car, with its 205-mph
top speed, ekes out an extra three mph at the top end over its (much)
more expensive sibling. The new 2017 Audi R8 V10 Plus
is stiffer and more rigid than the outgoing variant thanks to the
aluminum-and-carbon-fiber Audi Space Age platform, and has five driving
settings via Audi Drive Select—auto, comfort, dynamic, individual, and
performance, with the last being exclusive to the V10 Plus variant and
offering dry, wet, and snow sub-settings. Plus, with the Audi Virtual
Cockpit, the R8 V10 Plus boasts one of the jaw-dropping sexiest
infotainment systems (trust us, it's rare but possible) on the market.
(Note: if you're wondering why the Audi is ranked below the Porsche 911
Turbo S when they have the same top speed, it's because the Porsche wins
the 0-60 mph sprint.)
