Audi have just facelifted their supercar, the R8. The new V10 Performance boasts 620bhp, sharper looks and the promise of a better than ever drive. As someone who has never been a big fan of the R8 family, is this enough?
In order to give the R8 the fairest showing, we decided to take it on a bit of a road trip.

It's amazing how long they have been out, and yet how few I see. That is always a plus. There is also no mistaking it when you see it, and that is another plus. Still looks and sounds great to me. I was recently asked what would be my first car if I won the lottery. I answered this car because 1) it is a bad ass car. And 2) I could pick one up today. It wouldn't be my only car, but a lot of the cars that come to mind, you have to hunt for, travel for, haggle for, etc. That's all part of the fun I guess, but something to be said about availability and servicing. There are dealers that can get you a Ferrari, Aston, Lambo, McLaren, etc., but you'll have to wait, and they may not know how to work on them. Not a problem with the R8. So yeah, this would be my first of many if that ticket comes through.

That Aston is way too truck-like for the Alps. Triumph fine for British B-roads but I wouldn't take one long distance.

Currently have the original (UR :-) R8 V8 2008 but considering upgrading to a 2016 V10 mainly for the S Tronic, slightly sharper styling and better sat nav. You have to want this car as the luggage space is poor, though you can get a good cabin bag in there and then a flat suit carrier on top, no probs. There is also handy space behind the rear seats. Its a great car when you spend time looking at the way its built (I replaced the magride with KW V3 suspension myself) and the engineering is nice. Just need the exhaust rumble to be deeper like my RS6 was...

Fun fact about the Audi R8 that I suspect not many people know: the reason the Audi badge is on the bonnet and not in the grille like every other Audi (except the TT) is because it’s a throwback to the Auto Union Silberpfeil racing cars from the 1930s which had the badge over the grille aswell.

Fave road trip? 1.The other half. 2.A big engined Mercedes SL from 70's/80's. 3. Across Europe then down to the southern tip of Italy, then hop, skip and jump from Sicily to Sardinia and then onto Corsica before taking the last ferry back to Genoa. From there, Monaco, Nice and Cannes before taking off up into the Alps and back to the UK :-)

For me, a roadster where you can drop the top, some great rock tracks and alpine scenery

I got to Drive a Audi RS R8 with all the specs about 15 years ago for QEK Logistics (Upper Heyford). As I was just a short term agency Driver you can imagine my joy. The Thing had 50 miles on it. The only supercar I have driven. Was tempted not to give it back and just keep driving but I like not being in Jail to much.

Quick question: if you had to do the same trip again - would you take the R8 , or the yellow Lotus Evora that you used to own?

Tough call. They both have advantages and disadvantages, the Lotus would have been more fun in the twisties but the R8 was great for the long haul

Anywhere and everywhere in either a Porsche Boxster GTS 981 or an Alpina D4 Biturbo F32 👍 I don't want a supercar on my roadtrip, too much worries about finding suitable parking spots.

The best real world review I’ve seen of the R8. I’m about to trade mine after 3 years and 15kmiles. I agree everything you say. Other than, I found the box far less effective than a PDK. And strangely the electronics and software didn’t seem well sorted. Sometimes it would play music. Sometimes not. Nice car. But couldn’t love it. Massive depreciation. 132k to 65k.

Did you get 65k or a bit more? I’m guessing more?

Epic roadtrip? 3 weeks, over 5000km from Southern France to the far North of Scotland wild camping. Four blokes in a VW T4 California. Total cost 1700€uros (four people, ferry crossing, all fuel and food, no accomodation cost apart from one night on a campsite). It was a blast... And before anyone says but what about the car? It might not be a supercar, but I can cook, eat, sleep and crap in mine 😉. Can you say the same? There's a fridge for the beers too 😁 Edit: great minds think alike for the destination

I literally thought the original r8 was a movie car just for iron man, never thought it was real, always wondered how those blades made it to production but so many cool concept features have been axed

There are many places more exotic, that would surely make awesome road trips. But with what I know of places I've actually been blessed enough to visit, a trip through the American West, starting in Montana, heading west to the Pacific Northwest, and then a meandering path southbound to San Diego zigzagging between the coastal rainforest, the inland deserts, and the mountain ranges of the Sierra Nevada, well, there are better roads, taller mountains, and more scenic beaches, but there isn't a route that will keep you saturated in great examples for thousands of miles that would rival that. And you will always have a good place to stay and kind people along the way, if my experience is any indicator.

That does sound dreamy. Though my own information is suggestive that much of what made the route & manner of journeying along it so wonderful is disappearing or gone. The extraordinary degree of authoritarianism that’s descended upon pretty much all of The West feels to me like an undeclared coup d’etat. For the first time in my 64 years, I’m frightened of my government and those of most countries I’ve visited in the last four years. I’m not in the slightest concerned about my health. It’s really good & I disregard government’s insistence that my health is their responsibility as well as a right. Everywhere I look in the West, there is an increasingly obvious, yet undisguised, war on the motorist, both cars and motorcycles. People vary, as they always have. Like you, my long run experience of interacting with my fellow humans has been overwhelmingly a positive one. I have the impression, more obvious recently than four years ago, that very many people are preoccupied, anxious and unwell. I hope you got to make your dream road trip!

Ideal road trip? I am planning it: A week and a bit drive through most of the Scottish Highlands, Isle of Skye and the Outer Hebrides in my Toyota MR2 SW20. Totally bad car to spend a long time in and lug a lot of stuff around, but sure as hell a lot of fun to drive on Highlands Roads. Oh, and just one close friends cause two seater car problems.

Original Fiat 500 across Italy or NA MX5 across Wales. With my wife for both, of course! Or... Caterham across the highlands (on my own this time so I can fit a tent in the passenger seat and go sideways a lot).
