Most Helpful Review

First and Favourite car.

It will surely be your first and the last favourite car. One can buy this car without any issues. Best car according to my opinion. Either it be its exterior or interior. The company has designed it in such a way that it looks fabulous. The alloys are also very much attractive. The interiors are very fine and gives a royal look. Its just a great car (speechless).it is really a great car in all the aspects.

My future car

I want to buy this car in the future. Because i loved this car features, performance overall good from my point of view. It is already a high powered car which I see in my city. And the tune of this car makes me crazy. Beast on street

Audi R8 V10 plus Coupé First Drive Review

By Ameya Dandekar30 Jun 2016

In today’s age of saving fuel, turbo charging, adding lithium ion batteries, downsizing and being kinder to the environment, this orange rocket you see on these pages comes as a relief and for me defines what a modern day supercar should be. Sure saving fuel and being kinder to the environment is important. But we are talking performance cars here, which are rare and saving the world should be left to smaller family cars with hybrid or electric technology.
