Find your perfect R8

The R8 does everything a proper supercar should and then some. It's rampantly quick and features one of the best engines of any supercar on sale, and is surprisingly well-equipped, which is one reason we prefer it to the Porsche 911. The Lamborghini Huracán is dynamically superior, but costs pots more cash than the R8.

The entry-level Performance trim includes plenty of kit as standard, including heated seats, Nappa leather with Alcantara sports seats and power-folding door mirrors.

The RWD (rear-wheel drive) R8 gets a 5.2-litre V10 with 562bhp, giving it a 0-62mph time of 3.7sec.
