Despite its 150,000$ price tag, the Audi R8 was a real breath of fresh air in the 2008 auto world. And it was awarded the coveted ?ÒCar of the Year?Ó title by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada. This superb GT is brought to life by a 420 horsepower 4,2-litre V8 engine. Even though it takes a little time to get used to the synchro shift transmission, driving with the manual transmission is simply breathtaking. What's more, this two-place powerhouse is comfortable!
