Take a break with these pretty pictures<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Every few Fridays we like to bring you moments of zen<\/a> in the form of some of our favorite motorcars from around the Turo marketplace. Let\u2019s keep the fun going. We like cars, you like cars, so let\u2019s look at some cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s no longer news that Audi is discontinuing the R8 \u2014 at least the R8 that we know. The V10-powered supercar stormed onto the scene in 2006 as Audi\u2019s first \u201chalo car\u201d and consistently impressed through two generations. For the next generation, the R8\u2019s replacement will plug into the wall instead of drinking that smelly brown stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, you might not guess Aly\u2019s 2022 R8 Spyder is a 16-year-old model. It has a streamlined silhouette, sharky and serious face, crispy angles \u2014 it is a mid-engine supercar, after all. That said, the R8 has always been praised for its understated approach. The interior presents typical Audi<\/a> excellence but is otherwise without jewelry. There\u2019s only one screen (gasp!) and it\u2019s for the driver only \u2014 the digital gauge cluster doubles as the infotainment system, and you should have your eyes on the road, anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aly\u2019s R8 uses a power plant that\u2019s soon going the way of the dodo: a naturally-aspirated 5.2L V10 making 562 horsepower. It has no turbos, no superchargers, no complicated hybrid systems. The R8 is mechanical, immensely capable, and it still looks so good. We\u2019ll be sad to see it go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
