The rear-drive Audi R8 is here to stay. The supercar has taken a leaf out of its GT4 race cousin and ditched the quattro drive, saving weight and sharpening up its cornering act. A cheaper, more focused R8 has been available in the past as a limited edition but now it’s back alongside the R8 quattro as a permanent part of the firm’s supercar range.
