Video: Fifth Gear tests the Audi R8 V10

It may seem a little odd to have a guy sitting in an Audi R8 V10 saying “I’m a normal guy and this car’s aimed at me.” It could be wishful thinking or it could be that Audi has done a very, very good job.

While the car is meant to be fast, it’s not meant to be intimidating and the all wheel drive Quattro system gives the driver the kind of handling made to feel like you’re in control. Fifth Gear says that the interior “feels expensive” despite having stolen some bits and pieces from other, less costly, models.

And in the end, you get a Lamborghini engine for about 40,000 pounds less than buying a Gallardo. For an everyday supercar, it’s a supreme effort.
