The Germans are known for their perfection with their lavish interiors, and the 2014 Audi R8 Coupe stands on the same reputation. Since it’s a hefty price-tag supercar, there’s room for just two, the driver and someone in their good-list. The interior is packed with high-quality materials and supreme design, and the layout is very simple and intuitive. Behind the only two seats, there’s a void that can be used to throw shopping bags into. The seats are very comfortable and supportive, even in the base R8 V8 attire, but for extra bucks, the Convenience package garnishes the interiors with a top-notch design.
The coupe beholds a fully leather-upholstered interior, while the buyers can also add the diamond pattern-stitching seats. The Convenience package also adds interior storage nets for smaller accessories. The minuscule crowd that is big-fan of carbon fiber and doesn’t have much to do with power seats or adaptive suspension, the V10 Plus brings the perfect list of features. The interior of the V10 Plus is equipped with abundant carbon-fiber trim and lesser sound insulation, so be ready to hear the V10 roaring. Also be ready to pack light as the 2014 R8 has only space for 3.5 cu-ft of cargo, that too in the frunk(front-boot).

The supercar leagues come with compromises of seating, and the Nissan GT-R Track Edition drops the rear seats. The rear seats are highly unfunctional for adults with the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S. For more cargo space, the Dodge Viper GTS might be the perfect pick. When comparing the cargo capacity, Dodge comes out to be the most practical option with 14.7 cubic feet of space. Standout interior features of the R8 include:
- Automatic climate control
- Heated eight-way power seats (with four-way power-adjustable lumbar)
- Leather and faux suede upholstery
- Premium leather and faux suede headliner (convenience package)
- Carbon-fiber interior trim (V10 Plus)
- Gated metal shifter (manual models only)
