"2008 New York Auto Show: Audi R8 Is a Double Winner"“Audi’s R8 has been named World Performance Car and World Car Design of the Year by an international jury at the 2008 New York Auto Show.”
”The jurists noted the R8's ‘solid credentials on paper thanks to its mid-mounted 420-horsepower V8 engine and aluminum construction. But where it excels is in the exceptional balance, refinement and control that grant the driver the confidence to push to the limit. It has astonishing precision for a car of its size category.’”
