Swan Song: A howling, growling naturally-aspirated V10 devil on its way to the great gig in the sky
We do a last blast with the final Audi R8, in Singapore. Follow us as we explain why the R8 was such an important car for Audi, how it made rival brands feel the supercar FOMO, and also show why the V10-engined R8 isn’t the fastest, nor best supercar around, but is still well worth driving and possibly owning even in the madhouse of Singapore’s car prices.
