Audi R8 coupe 2017 review  The Mk2 R8 was launched in 2015, replacing the much-loved original that had been around since 2006.

It’s twinned with the Lamborghini Huracan, sharing the same high-revving engine and aluminium/composite platform. Said engine is probably one of the last of its kind; we’re unlikely to see many more ‘mainstream’ supercars with a cylinder count in double digits, cubic capacity starting with a ‘5’, and without turbochargers.This time there’s no manual version, all R8s using a seven-speed twin-clutch ‘S tronic’ gearbox, and all cars are all-wheel-drive, although very much rear-biased.
