Powered by a 1.2 TCe 100 engine or the fast 133hp 16-valve 1.6 engine (from the Twingo Renaultsport), the car should also drive as well as it looks, with the first models being in showrooms from July.

Audi R8 V10

The magnificent Audi R8 V10 has been voted as the World Performance Car 2010 for the second time at the New York Auto Show, having already won the award in 2008.

The World Car Awards jurors said about the car,”In the opinion of many on the World Car Awards jury, Audi has at long last satisfied our hunger for a street car that lives up to the excitement of the original Le Mans series-dominating R8 LMPI race car”.

The Audi R8 V10 is powered by a 5.2-litre engine developing 525PS, reaches 0-62 mph in 3.9 seconds and onto a top speed of 196 mph. Probably out of the reach of most people however if you are working to a car leasing budget and want to drive an Audi why not try the Super Shopper?
