The Audi R8 is by no means an inexpensive car, though unlike some other supercars, its price is not inflated by frivolous amenities, badges and plaques. Consider this: the Audi R8 shares its engine and platform with the Lamborghini Huracan. So, the R8 is not cheap, but it is cheaper than some notable competition. It also manages to look far more exciting than any equivalently priced Porsche 911, adding value for those who care about looking fast in addition to going fast.
