Yours truly took the Huracan All-Wheel Drive on a quick spin around the Marina Bay area, and it must be said this 610 bhp/560 Nm 5.2-litre V10 sports car impresses with its smooth and predictable power delivery, lovely exhaust note and addictive engine roar. Build quality is faultless to say the least, and the cockpit is one of the best place to be in, for something costing just below a million dollars, without options.

But while the looks might be a bit subjective, the quality definitely isn’t. I’ve always marvelled at Audi interiors and the Q2 is no exception. Aside form the premium materials, what you’ll find standard on the 1.4 TFSI Sport are progressive steering, paddle shifters, dual-zone climate control and MMI Navigation with a 7.0-inch screen and a nice audio system. There are even some new matte-yet-metallic trimmings that I’m seeing for the first time too.
