Audi launched its supercar in India this year, the R8 V10 Plus. It was first showcased at the Delhi Auto Expo 2016 and now after selling some in India, Audi planned a sportscar experience with it at the Buddh International Circuit that we attended.
For starters, you should be scared of cars like these, simply because they are powerful and we have bad roads in India - a cocktail for disaster. So if you plan to buy the Audi R8 V10 Plus, don't push yourself or the car to its limit, because chances are you will end up in the wall.
The Quattro on the R8 V10 Plus works like a dream and keeps it planted all the time. The seven-speed S-Tronic shift-by-wire transmission system and high-performance ceramic brakes make sure that you are always in control of any situation.
The car had no difficulty in handling turns at the BIC at speeds of over 150 km/h. The gear shifts were effortless and fast. The V10 Plus is a car that's best enjoyed on a race track than on any Indian road. We could easily manage speeds of in excess of 250 Km/h on straights and the computers on board are so fast and efficient that we never experience any understeer or over-steer in the R8 V10 Plus at high speeds.
But after driving it at the BIC, we can say one thing for sure, that if you ever plan to buy it in India, you should visit the BIC on an open track day with it. This will make you realise and appreciate the R8 V10 Plus even more. It's an ecstasy you really won't mind getting addicted to.
