FROM $882,000 ON THE ROAD

Audi’s highest performer is also its windiest and priciest model right now. The mid-engine 5.2-litre V10 convertible produces 540bhp and 540Nm, powers from zero to 100km/h in 3.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 318km/h. The Audi’s least speedy aspect is the soft-top, which takes 20 seconds to deploy or disappear. Everything, from the cockpit to the chassis, has been engineered for a breathtaking driving experience. Interestingly, the new R8 Spyder is priced very closely to the rear-drive Lambo Huracan Spyder, but inclusive of COE.
