Spot of the day: Belgium 18-4-2020

The Audi R8 has been with us since 2016 and has proven to be a massive hit as Audi’s top model when it comes to performance. The combination of mid-engine, all wheel drive and the choice of a V8 or V10 managed to convince a lot of future buyers.

In the 14 years since the car was produced we have seen quite a few models and quite a few facelifts. It was even the first car to feature full LED headlights. It quickly rose to fame after the Iron man movies and was also featured in the 50 shades of grey movie.

In 2006 there was the choice of the 4,2 Liter V8 or the 5.2 liter V10 model and 2 years later the Spyder models were introduced followed by the GT model in 2010. The R8 GT produced an additional 35bhp and 10Nm of torque. The GT model also lost 95kg of weight, the Interior and exterior were revised and a fitted rear spoiler was added as well as small additions to enhance the aerodynamics. The car was produced in very limited numbers, 333 units were created.

Dreeke, congrats on grabbing the spot of the day trophy in Belgium, the UK and in Germany! Three SOTD's in 1 day, thats pretty impressive.
