While he’s certainly doing quite well with his skills in front of the cameras, Taylor Lautner seems to be having a tough time with his driving skills.

The 17-year-old “Twilight” hunk recently purchased an Audi R8 – but the $150,000 sportscar may have a bit too much power for the recently licensed actor.

Having stalled out numerous times upon his outings in the Audi, a source tells, “Taylor didn’t really know how drive a stick when he bought the car.”

“Plus, the Audi R8 is complicated. It’s full of controls that even the most experienced driver would have trouble getting used to,” the insider adds.

Nonetheless, Mr Lautner is yet to give up on his new ride – as he’s still trying to master the speedy machine.
