Audi R8 (2016 – 2024)

The R8 mastered supercar subtlety—spectacular performance without spectacular attention. Remarkably reliable for something with its capabilities, it became the rational choice for the irrational purchase. While competitors embraced smaller turbocharged engines, Audi's naturally aspirated V10 remained a mechanical masterpiece that transformed gasoline into opera. Consider it Audi's combustion farewell letter before their electric pivot—a final, glorious exhaust note before the silence.
