TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2018 Acura NSX is an engineering tour de force that blends hybrid components with a turbocharged V-6 to create a track-ready supercar that can also be driven daily.

As much a track star as it is a comfortable daily driver, the 2018 Audi R8 is one of the most balanced and flexible supercars ever made.

TCC Likes

Sexy as hell
Seamless sub-3-second acceleration
Effortless high-speed grip

Arresting style
Linear V-10 power
Track-ready…

TCC Dislikes

Very expensive, before the carbon-fiber add-ons
An even-tempered supercar, for better and worse
Lacks supercar cachet, for some

No manual transmission option
Limited storage space
Vision astern is obstructed
