Audi R8 spider

Put the R8 Spyder in the dock in a bizarre fantasy court case and it’s easier being the prosecution: it’s slower than the coupe, significantly costlier and is less practical than a soggy envelope. But we defy anyone to drive one – either V8 or V10 – minus the cloth hood and not be absolutely captivated. The facelifted one, launched late 2012, does nothing to alter this, being very much a nip/tuck rather than a complete overhaul. Sensible Audi.
