As all its major rivals move towards turbocharging, Audi is clinging on to that big 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 like the crazy-seeming guy that we all hope will turn out to be right at the end of the movie. If you want an epic wall of torque and the thumping BPM spike that can deliver, go ahead to the AMG GT showroom or the 911 Turbo S dealer. But if you want instant throttle response, a multi-vocal thrash metal symphony and the thrill of chasing the dragon all the way to the 8,250rpm power peak then the R8 deserves your attention.
