R8 V10 is basically an R8 V8 that’s faster, a little grippier, and better equipped. Which means it’s the perfect everyday-use supercar.

The 525bhp engine has an astonishing spread of power, pulling hard from low in the rev range and getting progressively and implausibly stronger all the way to an 8,700rpm red-line.And the magical, predictable, transparent handling of the V8 car isn’t messed up by the extra power. This is a car that always seems to be on your side.
