The 4Car Top 10: Detroit 2009 production cars

Audi R8 V10

No motor show, whatever the economic conditions, is complete without a supercar or two. Audi duly obliged.

This range-topping R8 gets the same engine as the Lamborghini Gallardo 5.2-litre V10. It'll do 196mph and 0-60mph in 3.9 seconds. Happy days.

The R8 V10 has beefed-up wings and side sills, high-gloss grille and air intakes, new oval exhaust tailpipes, a rear diffuser, uprated brakes and unique 19" alloys. Prices? From £99,575 with manual gearbox, or £104,665 with R-tronic sequential-shift. Don't even try putting that on your credit card.
