2016 Audi R8 Wins “2016 World Performance Car”

The New York International Auto Show is the premier place to scout out which cars have truly earned the praise or criticism they’ve received from industry professionals. This year, an international panel of 73 esteemed automotive journalists chose the Audi R8 Coupe as the clear victor when they named it the ‘2016 World Performance Car.’

The Audi R8 is no stranger to the limelight; the recent victory marks the fourth time this luxurious, performance-ready coupe has won the World Performance Car title. Overall, Audi has won eight World Car awards, including World Performance Car, Car Design of the Year, and Car of the Year.

The Audi R8 drew high praise from the World Car Wards judges: “Arguably, Audi’s Le Mans-inspired R8 has been the most desirable, head-turning supercar of the decade. And now the latest Coupe version has won the World Performance Car 2016 title, successfully claiming the crown after seeing off stiff competition from America, Asia and Europe. Yet despite its racing car heritage and cutting edge technology it’s a surprisingly easy and manageable car to drive – fast or slow.”
