Dreams Become Reality
Some drivers wish to one day be driving the best vehicle they can imagine, and often times the vehicle that comes to mind is something along the lines of a supercar. These are vehicles that each year continue to remain the pinnacle of the automotive industry due to the sheer raw power they possess in addition to their luxurious status. From what we’ve seen so far, the new line up of 2020 supercars continues the trend of impressive automobiles featuring state-of-the-art performance levels and stylistic exteriors.
Among the vast amount of supercars being produced in 2020, a couple that we must recommend to you include the 2020 Audi R8 and the BMW i8; both can be found with an MSRP under $170,000. These supercars are incredibly powerful and are bound to give you the ride of your life, delivering on a whole new driving experience, unlike anything you’ve ever felt before. We guarantee you; these vehicles are so luxurious, it’s hard not to stop and admire them.
Audi R8 Coupe
The first of these 2020 supercars you should consider is the Audi R8 Coupe. This vehicle contains some serious power that any driver will enjoy and has a starting MSRP of $169,900. The Audi R8 Coupe is a marvel with both its stunning exterior design and a feature-packed interior, and that’s before we even mention its ability to achieve 0-60 mph in a mere 3.4 seconds. We certainly think you’ll enjoy your time spent with this vehicle due to some of the incredible highlights on display.
The engine that powers this beast of a vehicle is Audi’s 5.2L V10 FS1 engine that has the capability to produce 562 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. You may even want to opt for the more powerful R8 V10 Performance engine, which can produce an incredible 602 hp and 413 lb-ft of torque. These engines are quite powerful and will surely maximize your Audi R8 Coupe to its fullest potential.
Of course, it wouldn’t be an Audi without the implementation of quattro all-wheel-drive which we believe you’ll notice is a real game-changer. Quattro all-wheel-drive dynamically adjusts torque to the front and rear axles of your R8 Coupe when needed, and this results in even wheel displacement for both axles and a perfect 50/50 weight distribution. This is all possible thanks in part to Audi’s driver select system as well as an electronically controlled hydraulic multi-plate clutch plus the process of torque vectoring means you’ve never experienced stability like this in a vehicle before.
Inside of your Audi R8, you’ll be absolutely immersed in the Audi Virtual Cockpit while you are surrounded by a Bang & Olufsen sound system which fills your cabin with 13 premium speakers complemented by a 550-watt subwoofer that comes standard on the R8 V10. At the same time, it’s an available option on the V10 Performance variants. Your entire instrument cluster will be a digital 12.3-inch display that you’re able to personalize to show the information you’re most interested in seeing, such as a torque gauge, G-meter, a lap timer, and even the ability to display Google Earth. Overall, the Audi R8 is a 2020 supercar you can depend on and should be on everyone’s radar, and may just be the perfect choice for your next vehicle.
BMW i8 Coupe, A Hybrid Supercar
The BMW i8 is a popular supercar due to being able to retain great power and a luxurious design synonymous with supercars, while also being a hybrid which many drivers will enjoy. The BMW i8 Coupe, in particular, has a starting MSRP of $147,500 and is certainly an impressive offering from BMW. Your exterior will feature 20-inch light-alloy Radial-spoke wheels, and a carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic roof with UV protection is present and classy scissor doors made out of Aluminum and Carbon Fiber are also here as well. The i8 is brilliantly constructed with aerodynamics in mind as the legendary U-shaped taillight design and dual wind channels produce an excellent air streamflow.
With the BMW i8 coupe, you can expect to see 369 hp thanks to the mixture of two electric motors plus an 11.6 kWh battery pack alongside a turbocharged 1.5L 3-cylinder gas engine. Due to the excellent craftsmanship of this vehicle, the motor, batteries, and engine are all thoughtfully placed to achieve a perfect 50/50 weight distribution. What we admired about this vehicle was the way all three of these components coincided with one another to achieve its maximum 369 hp, which consists of the electric motor located under the hood in the front of the vehicle and produces 141 hp while the 1.5L 3-cylinder engine produces the rest. Although not the most powerful out of the offerings of supercars in 2020, we do believe this will grant you a respectable amount of power for a hybrid, and you when running towards empty, you won’t have to wait too long for a full charge as it only takes 3 hours to achieve a full tank and you’ll be good to go.
Another thing you’ll enjoy about the BMW i8 coupe is the interior features, which maximizes your comfort while driving. Inside of this vehicle, you’ll find ceramic controls and Accaro E-Copper heated leather seats that go alongside perfectly with the carbon fiber trim found standard and makes the overall visual design of this vehicle a really appealing one. Also found inside of your BMW i8 Coupe is an iDrive system with eight programmable memory buttons alongside its touch-pad controller. You’ll also find a full-color Head-Up Display (HUD), an 8.8-inch high-resolution digital instrument cluster, and another 8.8-inch screen that features BMW Navigation Professional with an assortment of 3D maps amongst other features.
The Future of Supercars
These two offerings are fantastic supercars that are very capable vehicles at a price point that is generally lower than some of their contemporaries. One of the best things about supercars is the stunning amount of vehicles you see as the price range increases, and it can truly feel endless at times, but we assure you, they don’t call these vehicles “supercars” for no reason and each one is worthy of their status. Nowhere else will you find an assortment of vehicles that contain unprecedented power and jaw-dropping designs than the vehicles you will find that are labeled as a supercar, and in 2020 we still feel the same way.
The Audi R8 and BMW i8 show only a glimpse into a world containing some of the best vehicles ever made, produced annually by car manufacturers all around the world, and shown to the public as an all-new supercar. There have been over 900+ supercars that have been released throughout the years, and these vehicles are often luxurious, but over time they have gained quite the following both consisting of drivers who are interested in purchasing a supercar and even those who aren’t but continue to be impressed by what is being achieved every year in their favorite industry. It’s because of these vehicles that we are constantly amazed at how far the limits have been pushed in recent years, and it’s what keeps us excited for what the future will hold as our favorite supercars continue to be innovated upon, pleasing their loyal fan bases around the globe.
