I have had the good fortune to drive one for a weekend, and its only then that you realise what all the fuss is all about. Just make sure you don’t turn off the traction control (like I did by mistake)!

As the hairpin bend unwinds, you start squeezing the throttle, and the engine note rises from a creamy bass growl to a screaming contralto howl, underlain by an increasingly fussy backbeat of cams and valve gear. It’s a delicious, utterly intoxicating engine noise. One that encourages you to use every last one of the 8500 revs that are on tap before you finger-flick the paddle shifter back and engage third gear, just like that…

A futuristic coupé that looks ready to fight, is a sublime balance of form and function and that has motor racing coursing through its veins. The R8 V10 gives you the sensation of perfect control over incredible levels of power – and put simply, is a 5.2 litre, ten cylinder, 525bhp, 196mph evolution of the original Quattro 4WD sports car that motorsport enthusiasts have long since immortalised.

The engine which based on the unit in the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 is an engineering marvel. At 3,000rpm the engine wakes up, valves open in the exhaust and the engine’s warble drowns out its whirr. By 4,000rpm the exhausts are sounding the charge and the almost seamless torque fires the car up the road. From then on it just gets better and better…

But it’s not all about power. The R8 V10 wears two suits: one for the physics bending backroad blast across Europe, and the other for the (now not so tedious) drive to and from work. The V10 gets pole position from us in this month’s competition and we’d love you to join us for a few laps of the Nürburgring when you win!
