2011 Audi R8 Spyder V10 is Top Car for Summer
 2011 Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 V10 rated top 'wish list' car for summer What’s your dream car for a summer road trip? Mine would be a fast, sexy roadster, preferably a convertible, preferably a two-seater, probably in red, with enough trunk space for a weekend bag for each of us. The 2011 Audi R8 Spyder 5.2 V10 tops the list, according to the August issue of the Robb Report.
This is a high-revving 5.2 liter V-10, with enough torque and power to launch you zero to 60 mph in four seconds. Of course, since it is an Audi, it is packed with the Bavarian auto-maker’s signature Quattro all-wheel drive. And it costs in the neighborhood of $160,000 for the manual and $170,000 for the R Tronic clutchless sport transmission. One neat feature – there’s a microphone imbedded into the driver side seatbelt, for hands-free Bluetooth telephone conversation over the roar of the engine, even with the top down. And with 10 cylinders, this puppy knows how to bark. Top track speed is 195 mph.

Whichever one you pick, promise to take me for a spin.
The R8 Spyder looks proper , but I think for the same price I would rather have a 911 Turbo cabriolet…
Hi Edward –
I checked your website, but can’t find a backlink to here, or a credit for all the time and effort I seem to have spared you on research.
Cheers,
Evelyn
Awesome, that’s exactly what I was seeking for! You just spared me alot of looking around

The GT is a classic. It’s a tough choice. Just so long as it is red.
Drive safely, Evelyn
my dream car is the Ford GT. that car is truly a muscle car with lots of horsepower,-;
