Hugh Grant has rewarded himself with one of the best birthday presents ever, the Audi R8.

The Love Actually star, who is 47 today, looked dour as he examined the gleaming car - thought to be a treat to himself - in West London.


He even resisted the urge to go for a spin - preferring instead to ease it round to his garage.


Then he strolled glumly back to his house to prepare for his party, which will feature rock band Van Tramp.

Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. A subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, the company’s origins date back to the early 20th century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded by engineer August Horch (1868–1951). Two other manufacturers (DKW and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932. The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Volkswagen acquired Auto Union from Daimler-Benz, and merged it with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969.
