Audi R8 and Ferrari Thrill

Posted by leaddo On October - 18 - 2008

The sensational Audi R8. Drive the car everyone is talking about!

Audi R8 and Ferrari Thrill

The beautiful step sister of the stunning Lamborghini Gallardo, the Audi R8 might be half the price but with a waiting list that reads like a fantasy football team - this is the car that any self respecting Premiership player or city boy wants to be seen in.

Clarkson described the R8 as one of the truly great cars and the only hesitation he has in awarding a coveted five stars is that, ideally, he would like to give it six.

Judge this amazing car for yourself and see what all the fuss is about as you slip behind the wheel of a motoring legend in the making.

In addition to all of this, your day to remember will also include a drive in a Ferrari 360 or 550.

Locations
