Why does the Audi R8 have a naturally aspirated engine?

I've heard that the Audi R8 uses a naturally aspirated engine instead of a turbocharged one. Can you explain why this is and how it affects the performance of the car?

The Audi R8 features a naturally aspirated V10 engine because it provides a more linear power delivery and a unique exhaust note, enhancing the overall driving experience.

Unlike turbocharged engines, naturally aspirated engines don't have any lag, meaning that throttle response is more immediate and the car feels more responsive.

Having a naturally aspirated engine also means having less complicated and therefore more reliable components, reducing the risk of potential mechanical issues in the long run.
