Pros and Cons
- Pros
- Cons
- The R8’s cabin is ergonomically designed as the controls for the majority of functions are within an arm's reach of the driver
- Thanks to its multiple driving modes and tamed power delivery, the R8 is a supercar that can be used on a daily basis
- The 2017 R8 is based on a new aluminium chassis with carbon fibre-reinforced plastics which reduces its weight by 15 per cent and yet increases rigidity by 40 per cent.
- Though not specified, the R8’s ground clearance is enough to take on patchy roads
- Audi’s quattro all-wheel drive system ensures that the car is glued to the ground. It doesn’t oversteer like many other rear-engined cars do. Instead, it has a fair bit of understeer that helps find the limits of the car much easier
- With a combined fuel economy of 12.3kmpl, the R8 is as efficient as many mass-market cars in India
- Classy mature styling.
- Fit and finish of the interiors.
- Good performance and handling makes it a driver's car
- Comfortable ride despite good handling
- Rear seat space
Audi R8
Skoda Rapid
- The R8’s steering lacks the feel and feedback that is expected from a car from this class
- With a 0-100kmph time of 3.2 seconds, the R8 is not the fastest in its class. The 570PS Nissan GT-R can do the same in 3 seconds.
- While some of its rivals can seat up to four passengers, the R8 can only manage two.
- No diesel option.
- Short feature list.
- Automatic is a bit too eager for city speeds
