Black 2008 Audi R8 V8

A black 2008 Audi R8 (V8) arriving at Carcadia.

The all-black treatment really doesn't do this car justice, and that's because the first-generation R8 has so many interesting design elements that deserve to be emphasized rather than concealed. Sure, if you're not a fan of the car's controversial "side blade", you may appreciate the cleaner side profile that the black paint offers. But there's no denying the car's wheels, grille, and straked vents - a cohesive theme that appears in both the front and the rear - look best when contrasted with the rest of the bodywork. Still, this is an incredible car that offers great looks and performance in a relatively usable package and is now an excellent choice for a budget-conscious mid-engined supercar.
