The Audi R8 V10 Plus is the most powerful version of Audi's mid-engined supercar.
The 5.2-litre V10 engine has been tuned to produce 542bhp, an increase of 24bhp, which helps slash the 0-62mph sprint time by four tenths to just 3.5 seconds.
This new range-topping R8 isn't just about straight-line speed, though. The Plus has lowered suspension and comes with ceramic brakes as standard, which have the dual benefit of enhancing stopping ability and cutting weight.
Other weight-saving measures include the use of carbonfibre parts and lightweight sports seats.
What's the 2013 Audi R8 V10 Plus like to drive?
Our test car was fitted with the new optional S tronic semi-automatic gearbox, which recently replaced the jerky and slow-witted R tronic 'box.
The S tronic is considerably better than the standard manual gearbox because it allows you to change gear faster and keep your hands on the wheel while doing so. What's more, the shift paddles behind the steering wheel add to the sense of occasion
The Plus is faster than a regular R8 V10, but you'd have to be something of a connoisseur to notice this. However, like the standard V10 model, the 5.2-litre engine likes to rev hard and
makes a fantastic noise on full throttle
