It's not as expensive or renowned as some of its Italian alternatives, but the 2015 Aude R8 nonetheless delivers more luxury and similar performance figures.
For those looking for a similar taste of driving excitement–maybe even with an extra dash of driving refinement–the Porsche 911 is a hard car to beat.
The Chevrolet Corvette is half the price in base form, but probably has half the cachet, too.
Wait for the new Z06, though, which offers even more power than the R8 V10.
If you're looking for style, Maserati's GranTurismo is an ever-gorgeous car with a beautiful exhaust, but it's more of a touring car than a hardcore performance machine.
Finally, there's the Dodge SRT Viper with its wild V-10 power and more performance than the R8 in virtually every capacity, but it's not nearly as gentlemanly, nor is it as comfortable for extended drives.
