Audi R8

The 2009 Audi R8 looks every bit the elegant, a super-car that seems designed for high-speed runs with extensive features for engine cooling and brake venting, and huge wheels with a staggered size, front to back. Eye-catching details such as the LED light bar at the front and a glass engine cover that displays the LED-illuminated engine make it produce a museum piece.

The entire vehicle weighs only about 3,400 pounds and has a near-perfect (rear-biased) weight distribution to take advantage of the engine's mounting, just behind the front seats. The R8's lightweight construction and racing-inspired details are admired from Audi'sexperience with the race car of the same name.
