Senior editor Joe Wiesenfelder took delivery of an Audi R8 test vehicle in the middle of one of Chicago’s worst winters, and found the German supercar to be a blast to drive no matter the road conditions. (Serious snow tires didn’t hurt, though.) Don’t cry for Joe — the weather did break for a few days of spirited driving. In addition to Joe’s full review, check out our thoughts on driving the R8 on a track a few months back, and our impressions of the Bang & Olufsen sound system we tested in the Audi S8, which is similar to the R8’s optional system Joe was pining for.
