Best Every day using sports car

Best car money can buy I driven it about 80 km Hybrid mode is amazing in that mode it gave mileage about 60 km per ltr With v8 engine it gave mileage about 8km per ltr The interior is so sporty and luxury The best feature is the roof.

Very good for touring and racing also for show of. At the end very good car and looking so gorgeous in red colour just like dulhan😍😊

Very good driving experience. mileage is also good at 6 to 8.5 in a supercar. Looking very beautiful in red color but the seating and space are a little bit. In the end very good for touring and racing.

Audi R8 V10 plus Coupé First Drive Review

By Ameya Dandekar30 Jun 2016

In today’s age of saving fuel, turbo charging, adding lithium ion batteries, downsizing and being kinder to the environment, this orange rocket you see on these pages comes as a relief and for me defines what a modern day supercar should be. Sure saving fuel and being kinder to the environment is important. But we are talking performance cars here, which are rare and saving the world should be left to smaller family cars with hybrid or electric technology.
