Amazingly we managed to get hold of an Audi R8 for an afternoon, !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! .

We also got a drive in an RS4, RS6, R8 Plus and S7 so will publish reviews of those early next year.

When I say we I mean my fellow writer (well, brother) Colin. Lucky git.

Still, I've got an Inifinit QX70 sitting in the drive and a Lotus Evora coming tomorrow so life isn't too bad.

I noticed in the pictures that the "manual" shifting is backwards, like in all "tiptronic" type automatic transmissions. It should be push forward to downshift, pull back to upshift, like a proper race car.

I wonder: did they do this because they figured their customers would expect it coming from the lower-end models? Or is it because they're sharing parts and it was just cheaper to keep it this way?
