Just finished reading about the 2014 Audi R8 V-10 Plus, Base Price $174,795 and Price as Tested: $191,445

1st paragraph in Car & Driver; "The Audi R8 has always been a starter Supercar, a toe into the high-g waters. It doesn't wear an exotic badge, and it won't trigger too many adverse assumptions about your manhood. Other Supercars are riskier, wilder, more dangerous, less defensible. They test you by draining their batteries while at rest in the garage. They demand that you regularly remove the engines for new spark plugs. Just how invested are you in the whole Supercar lifestyle, anyway? Most Supercar owners are more like zookeepers than drivers. Actually driving one is the rare reward for all the feeding, protecting, and preening. The R8 isn't like that, though. For all its lofty performance and aluminum construction, it behaves pretty much like a normal Audi".

Sounds like the Best Deal in the Supercar World! And can it perform: 0 to 60: 3.2 sec. 1/4 mile: 11.4 sec @ 125 mph
