Forget the badge. The biggest hurdle for any hirer to get over when considering the Audi next to the likes of Ferrari or Lamborghini.

When you sit in the cabin, you could be mistaken for thinking you're in a normal road car, but turn the key and that 5.2 litre V10 revs into action and causes the whole cabin and ground to shake. In essence, you have a Lamborghini engine strapped behind your head with the extra re-assuarnace of the Audi Quattro system to keep you planted on the road. We know you're sat in an Audi but, for sheer comfort, the R8 V10 is leaps and bounds ahead of a Lamborghini or Ferrari. No cushion or chiropractor required.

Compared to the Lamborghini LP560-4 Spyder, the performance is very similar, but Audis' S-Tronic gearbox is so much kinder to driver, with a smoother delivery of power and less punch to keep you from being thrown back and forward as you go through the gears.

We can't go any further without talking about the roof. An absolute masterpiece of engineering and too addictive to keep putting up and down with its' fully automated mechanism. Any passers by could be mistaken in thinking this is a Transformer as mid-way through it's opening cycle, the whole car looks as though it's going to morph into something else. We know you wouldn't hire a supercar just for the roof mechanism but, as far as they go, this has to be the most exciting car when it comes to gaining a view of the sky and taking in the fresh air...
