7. Audi R8
While Twitter and Instagram leaks foiled Audi’s plans for a dazzling reveal, they didn’t make the car any less exciting. The Audi R8 is modified from the first generation R8 into the MSS (Modular Sporty System) architecture and is 100 pounds lighter. The bones are those of the Lamborghini Huracán but adjusted for more space and comfort. In addition to the trunk at the front of the car, there is also space behind the front seats for storage. The new R8 is wider, lower, and has a more dramatic look than before. For the first time, it’s available with hard-core performance tires. It takes 3.5 seconds to get from 0 to 62 mph and the car has a rated 610 horsepower, 413 pounds-foot of torque and can get up to 205mph. Perhaps most exciting about the car is that the R8 comes with a sophisticated version of Audi’s “virtual cockpit.”
