    A joy to drive and a pleasure to own.

    If I had one word to describe this car, it would be "FUN". It's a joy to drive and a pleasure to own. Get ready to be the envy of everyone you come in contact with when driving this work of art.

    Beautiful car and thrilling to drive

    This car is not only beautiful but exhilarating to drive. The pure sound and experience of driving this car made it all worth it. In addition to it being only 1 of 320 in the USA and only 1 of 999 in the world you can’t go wrong with the R8RWS

    Audi R8 Spyder V10

    I love the Audi R8 from the start. This car defiantly turns head and it?s a great mixture of a super car with German and Italian design. You have the reliability of German with Italian influence. This car is a sister car to a Lamborghini Diablo.
