I wish Audi had “evolved” the top of the side panels into flying buttresses.

But other then that, I really like the 2016 Audi R8. But I'd buy it in Matt white.

As a fellow German, it pains me to hear his accent dominate the entire watching experience. :D

Not sure what they thought when they went for “auto feels”, too. Granted, that might not have been the exact translation they had in mind, but it’s a valid one nevertheless.

Back to the actual topic: after inspecting the rear of the car, I’m pleased to see they did quite a few changes. The exhaust always seemed silly, especially when you can guess the individual pipes’ shape inside.

If I had to pick between a 997.2 Carrera 4S and a first-generation R8 V8, I would have gone for the R8. Now that they no longer make the V8 version, it’s the other way around: this time I’d drive a 911 (991) Turbo over the R8 V10.
