Got to have a quick play in this brand new R8 yesterday. Mate of mine has just started work at the Audi dealership, so I cheekily said go and grab the keys and let's go for a spin. So he did.
WOW it was quick, like light speed quick. But even in manual mode it still took over your down changes, which meant a 6th to 2nd gear drop whilst joining the motorway went rather quicker than anticipated.
Great fun and a well screwed together car that sounded awesome. That 5.2 V10 and 605bhp does sound nice under full throttle.
The dash was like something out of a play station game and the rest was just, well Audi!!!
It was fun and at £149,950 well out of my grasp, but I was actually happier getting back in my GS afterwards. There is just no getting away from the soul these Maserati's have
