#DAS09 There's not much to complain about when it comes to the Audi R8. We've lived with one for months now, and it's about as drivable as a supercar gets. Then again, next to other supercars, the R8 is a little short on power. Not any more.

The 2010 Audi R8 5.2 FSI fixes that little problem. With 518 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque available from its 5.2-liter V10, this R8 will go from zero to 62 mph in just 3.9 seconds according to Audi. Its top speed has been bumped to 197 mph and there are a few cosmetic tweaks like new wheels and wider side vents to make it identifiable at a glance. Doesn't look bad in red either. -- Ed Hellwig, Senior Editor, Inside Line

I'm not digging the wheels, but the overall package is hot!
