This is one of those posts you’ll come across today, in which it won’t matter one bit whether I type a Pulitzer-winning story, or give you the many reasons why I think Sasquatch really does exist.

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.

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.

Despite Audi’s best attempts, the all-new 2017 Audi R8 hit the Internet ahead of the Geneva debut next week. As a result, Audi has went ahead and provided us all the details on their new mini-Lamborghini.

Audi is so jazzed about the new R8, that it gave a select few journalists the opportunity to sit in the passenger seat with a pro race driver has they set hot laps around a track.

Apart from the overall same general shape of the new R8, the new Audi definitely looks more…aggressive. Massive sills take up most of the front grille, and Audi’s laser headlights definitely add to the effect.
