Cars of 2007

Audi R8
Better than a 911? Really? You'd better believe it. Audi has, on its first attempt, achieved what countless others have failed to do and beaten the legendary Porsche at its own game. Indeed, the R8 makes the 911 look a bit dated. But there's more to it. The RS4 suggested Audi had finally cracked how to make a satisfying driver's car. But with the R8 it's created one of the best ever. It's hugely fast, but in a very exploitable way and entertains without being the least bit scary. And it feels ultra modern and superbly built, giving you confidence you could use it every day with no worries.
