Critics' Consensus

“The 2022 Audi R8 Performance RWD Spyder delivers a thrilling driving experience with its naturally aspirated V10 engine, playful handling, and lower price point compared to the AWD version. While it sacrifices some standard features and performance metrics, it remains an excellent choice for enthusiasts seeking raw power and classic supercar feel.”

“If the non‑electrified supercar is on its way out, there may be no more glorious final breath than one pumped through this 5.2‑liter V10.”
