Audi R8
Audi will unveil the R8, its flagship supercar. But don't expect to find it everywhere. The German premium carmaker will build about 5,000 units of the mid-engine coupe and will offer it to a limited number of dealerships in Europe and the US. Dealers will qualify for the car only if they meet Audi's standards for the R8, which include a specific area in the showroom for the supercar and a sizeable investment in service tools. Pricing has not been released, but is expected to cost about €100,000.

Seats: 2
Base engine: 4.2-liter V-8, 420 hp
