Watch as an Audi R8 V10 Plus drifts up a mountain pass.

Perhaps you’ve seen your fair share of color-shifting paint jobs on a few cars on the road. If you haven’t, color-shifting is a paint mixture that will yield different colors depending on the angle and light source it’s exposed to.

One measure of the success of a performance car is whether or not it makes you feel something. I haven’t driven the 2017 Audi R8 V10 plus, but, in a way, the company’s exotic offering has already succeeded.

The inside of the NRG Center in Houston, Texas was the place to be in the city yesterday. That’s not only because the weather outside on the first day of the 2016 Houston Auto Show was chilly.

Being behind the wheel of a car like the Alfa Romeo 4C or the Nissan GT-R can make you feel as if you’re in an action movie. You look cool and you drive fast to a soundtrack of charging horses.

This is actually an Audi R8. No really, under its burnt orange skin, there lies a chassis and engine from a first generation Audi R8.

The LA Auto Show starts late next week and thanks in part to Audi, it’s going to start with a bang.
