Auto Express have published their "test driven" review of the Audi R8 Spyder. 'From behind the wheel, the experience is intoxicating. You sit so close to the front of the car, it almost feels as though you are positioned over the front axle, while a glance in the rear view mirror reveals the flat expanse of the back end. Things get even better when the engine starts. The noise from the twin exhausts is muted, but menacing at idle - and climbs to a wail as the revs head for the 8,000rpm red line. Our car was fitted with a manual gearbox mated to the quattro four-wheel-drive system. This gave us high hopes for the driving experience, particularly given the appeal of the standard coupé.'
