Hey everyone, I'm in the queue for a car delivery summer next year. Currently driving an Audi RS4. I've had several test drives and a brilliant session at Dunsfold and safe to say that the sheer performance leap to the MP4 is staggering. Launch control left me laughing at the pace, a hot lap with an instructor hugely respectful. After a lifetime reading about supercars and hearing the phrase 'can't be used on the public road', actually experiencing it was humbling, thrilling, sobering, energising, fabulous.
Whilst the RS4 is a fast road car, it's obviously not an out and out sports car, so I'm considering getting something else that will help build my driving experience and reduce some of that gap for when my MP4 arrives (needless to say I'll be taking full advantage of any driver training going in the meantime).
So, suggestions please for a suitable in between vehicle, a performance bridge to the McLaren. Requirements: similar power train/layout, ability to handle reasonably long distance trips (ruling out Caterhams and track day specials), something that will hold value reasonably well over next 8 months.
Audi R8?
