Audi has taken a long time developing their exotic car from concept to production, since the Le Mans Quattro prototype was first shown in 2003. The Audi R8 supercar was worth the weight, though, as it seamlessly molds a Lamborghini Gallardo-like platform to unique parameters.
It began its 20 unit per day production in 2007, and had no trouble gaining momentum and respect among the discriminating exotic car crowd. The 2010 edition features a 5.2 liter V-10 engine and the 2011 model is a chic R8 Spyder that continues to keep Audi on the most wanted supercar list. However, as alluring as the Audi R8 is in North America, there is an Audi model available in Europe that is a cut above, called the Audi R8 GT. For 2012, the US market will finally receive this limited edition German road rocket, with prices starting at $196,800.
