Yeah, when we look back in a few decades, I imagine this interior will age extremely well. One of the issues with cars from the modern era is the fact that the tech will be so dated or viewed as tacky in the future. "Remember when we were putting iPads in car interiors? That was so ridiculous." - People in the future Or, everything will just be self driving and the whole car will be an infotainment system...

I had a 2012 A7 and it made me feel so special (that sounds kinda weird, but you know what I mean) every time I climbed in. It was maxed out on the. interior trim and every surface you touched was metal - a trick that BMW and Mercedes never figured out - and it just gave you a solid experience every time, and was super quiet to boot. For the midrange car it was an extremely high quality experience and still looks good today.

Exactly, and it is NOT a sign that the R8 is old. More or less all other Audis at the time had a center screen - incuding the first generation R8! It was a concious decision by Audi to get rid of the center screen in this R8, and was quite unusual when it came out.

This is apples and oranges though. Cars like this are collectables, so a center screen would hurt that aspect. A Honda accord has a shelf life of 10 -15 years, so taking away the screen would just take away usability.

I bought myself a V10 quattro performance Coupé for my 40th birthday. Suzuka grey fully loaded with the Recaro buckets. I love this car to death!

Reminds me of first seeing it in Need for Speed: Carbon. I believe in that game it was titled the “Audi Quattro Le Mans”, and I’ve loved this car ever since

I became an Audi owner cause of the R8. When I was in middle school and first saw Iron Man, watching RDJ in his R8 did it for me. As soon as I got hired into my career after college, I bought an A6. Hoped it would stay around as long as the 911, or Corvette, or mustang. Truly their Halo car for me.

It set the the styling trend for the day-time running lights that we see in basically every car now, and captured the imagination of so many young people. Still my dream car!

Doug the interior of the R8 is pretty much kind of what they have done with the Veyron and Chiron avoiding screens to make it timeless. They didn’t do it as much as they did in Bugatti, but I look that as a great thing in the interior design of the car. I only wish that they kept the gauge cluster analog instead of digital.
