Описание: Ferrari. The most powerful brand in the world, synonymous with speed, luxury and wealth. For me, when you say Ferrari, I think of some of the most beautiful cars ever designed, by legends like Sergio Scaglietti and Pininfarina, cars like the 250 GTO, 250 GT California and the 288 GTO to name just a few.

Super Car. You think Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, but no one really think's Audi. Well they should! This is the car, that is an everyday super car and it's an important one in history for me.

I drove the first V10 R8 back when it was first released in 2009 and was so impressed that it became one of my all-time favourites. On the outside, granted it's a bit sedate, but I like to think of the Wolf in Sheep’s clothing scenario.

Now: the everyday super car, people look and instead of a smile, in this country people scowl. The cardigan wearing middle age Dacia Sandero driving 'finger pointer'! Imagine, you’re at the local petrol station in your R8 and remember this is Britain, so the bloke invariably says, “I bet you don’t get many miles to the gallon out of that.” Or “I can get more in the boot of my Dacia Sandero”, or — and this is the one I’ve always hated most of all — “Where the hell can you ever drive a car like that?” Instead of being rude, we smile sweetly and try our hardest not to put the nozzle down his trousers and set him on fire.
