Audi figured out how to make this iconic supercar even better

But after a decade of excellence, it was time for a successor.
How do you improve upon an icon? We've all heard of the sophomore slump or the disappointing sequel. After all, disasters such as "Jaws 2" or "Speed 2" happen way more often than an "Empire Strikes Back" or a "Dark Knight."
With the R8, Audi had the tall task of coming up with a sequel to its flagship model. After all, this is Tony Stark's official ride.
For 2017, there is indeed an all-new, second-generation R8. Recently, Audi dropped off this R8 V10 Coupe Quattro S tronic for Business Insider to check out. Our ibis-white R8 V10 had a base price of $162,900, but with options the car left the showroom at $183,050.
So does the sequel live up to the hype? Let's find out.
