Hi Pete, last weekend i drove the Ferrari 458 and McLaren MP4 12c on track here in the UK, it was my first time driving any supercar at the age of 44, whilst I really enjoyed it and was left speechless at the end by the amount of power, after returning home I drove my MX5 ND around my local country lanes and had a blast thrashing every gear, I couldn't have done the same in a supercar, probably would still want a supercar in the garage if money was no object though. Great review as usual. Paul.

Yet another entertaining and thorough review. The V10 sounds amazing but the problem with all supercars is you just can't use them anywhere near properly on the public road, as you rightly say. Also if I'd spent £170k on a car, I'd think really hard before doing anything heroic on a track, as well. That said, there's a guy in my town who has one and thinks the town centre, on a Saturday afternoon, is the perfect place to explore all that potential...

Very articulate and incisive review. I’ve had two R8s and currently daily a TTRS. The absence of drama and unpredictability is part of the appeal. Having had lots of cars over the years, I would suggest the “passion and soul” that most people crave is really just for the uninitiated. As an owner, you just want something that works.

Petrol Ped, very true. A car like a TTRS (or a Cayman GTS, etc) is more fun at 7/10s than a much faster car at 3/10s, at least on public roads where you still need to have some respect for the law. But of course there are some who really just want to impress people with their possessions.

Well done , excellent review!

I think you hit the nail on the head. Most modern cars have too much power to legally exploit. For example my automatic Astra only needs 3 gears to get to 70, but it has 6. So at 70mph it is doing 2,000 rpm! Driven sensibly it is it will drop in to 5th at 40 mph. If I’m honest though, personally my driving style is suited to this set up.

Your enthusiasm is inspiring... I think I'll buy one if these if I can get, what you get out of it.. Gord

Hello thanks for your video. I owe the rear wheel drive version for about 10 months now. The car is indeed very useful both as a daily driver and on a circuit. I drive it only for fun and on circuits in Florida. The public road here hardly have any corners so that forces you to go to track lol. Reliable , fast enough with 540 horses and lighter than the all wheel drive.

It's funny, but I'm not a big fan of carbon fibre inlays around the cabin. But in this Audi, they really do look nice. But then the car's damn nice too. And with a proper spoiler on the back. No ducktail. As soon as you said that you couldn't think of a car as capable as this as an everyday driver, the one car that immediately came to mind was the 911 Turbo/Turbo S. And you confirmed that later on in the video. If I was ever lucky enough to afford a "supercar" (Doubtful!), the one thing I do know is I'd want one with 4WD. That's a definite. But quite which one to go for, I'm still not sure. R8? 911? I'd even put the Mercedes-AMG GT4 63 4-Door Coupé into this bracket due to power, performance and price. One thing I do know, it I'll bloody well have great fun finding out the right one(s)* for me :-))... Lovely car. Great video.
