It was a double victory for the Audi R8 sports car. At the 2008 World Car of the Year awards, the mentioned vehicle was able to take home two awards - the World Performance Car award and the World Car Design of the Year award.

The vehicle that is chosen as the recipient of any award from the World Car of the Year set of awards is really a deserving vehicle. All vehicles nominated for an award go through various tests and checkups. Deciding on who takes home the award are 47 jurors who all are experts and come from 24 various countries scattered around the globe.

According to the jurors, the Audi R8 as the 2008 World Performance Car came with “solid credentials on paper thanks to its mid-mounted 420 horsepower V8 engine and aluminum construction. But where it excels is in the exceptional balance, refinement and control that grant the driver the confidence to push to the limit. It has astonishing precision for a car of its size category.”

Kudos Audi!
