Why is the Audi R8 known as a high-performance sports car?

I've heard a lot about the Audi R8 being a high-performance sports car, but what features make it stand out in terms of its performance?

The Audi R8's performance can be attributed to its lightweight construction, low center of gravity, and powerful engine choices. These factors combine to give the car exceptional handling, acceleration, and overall speed.

The use of advanced materials like carbon fiber and aluminum in the Audi R8's construction not only reduce weight, but also increase rigidity and enhance handling.
