Models like the Audi R8 don't come about very often. By that we mean sports cars that redefine what you think a vehicle manufacturer is capable of. In living memory, Audi has probably had two: the original all-wheel drive Quattro and the R8. I guess a case could be made for the excellent V8-engined RS4, but it didn't break the mould in any particular regard. It's hard to believe that the R8 was launched in 2006, a year Porsche got a double-whammy from both Audi - and Nissan's magnificent GT-R. The R8 had a light refresh back in Spring 2012, when it got a better automatic gearbox, an more powerful V10 Plus version and a very subtle restyle, but that was just a means to see the MK1 design through the last couple of years of its life. In its place in 2015, we got this second-generation R8 model, then usefully improved in 2019. A rear-driven model was introduced in 2021, which brings us up to date.
The appeal of this 'Type 4S' second generation R8 has a lot to do with its engine, so it's just as well for Audi that the 5.2-litre V10 is such a glorious powerplant. It reminds you that normal aspiration produces a level of aural entertainment that a turbo unit can never quite match. We'll miss it when it finally disappears. Ingolstadt has clearly benchmarked key competitors and blended Latin exclusivity with Teutonic day-to-day usability, creating a finished product that's difficult to beat if you want a car of this kind you could drive every day. It's a very Audi supercar. And there's nothing quite like it.
