neonkiller Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 cool car.. not worth 130k, but cool car. Really?.... Look at how the ca is made what it has and it will wipe most american muscle off the road. I'd straight pipe it, tint windows and powdercoat wheels black and call it Darth Vader.

Skinner Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 wasn't this car based of the gallardo? I Remember seeing concept pics of it with gallardo wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
large_x7 Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Correct. Since VW group owns Lamborghini, the R8 is just a sexier Gallardo (is that even possible?) The prevailing opinion in the industry is that Audi will wait 1 or 2 years and come out with an "S" model using the Lambo V10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin R. Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Correct. Since VW group owns Lamborghini, the R8 is just a sexier Gallardo (is that even possible?)

Guest GMoney Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I got to see two of these at the dealerships in Austria, they built an entire area of the dealership just for the car. Wow, what a sexy car. I have some pictures on my phone. I would snag a Ferrari first if it was a performance car i was after, but for the price the R8 cant be beat, performance, build, and sexy. I also couldn't get away from the A8 V-12. I want one of those, bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supplicium Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 What motor is in that now? Audi RS4 4.2L FSI I got to sit in one at the VW headquarters in Detroit at the beginning of the summer. The exhaust note is perfect, imagine a vr6 plus 2 cylinders, with a hint of a high revving Ferrari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallard Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 The car look amazing in person and it's worth every penny if you're comparing it to a Porsche 911. The rumor is the RS8 will get the RS6 Twin Turbo V10 or the V12 diesel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Jones Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I can't believe the haters in this thread. That car is pure engineering. Mid Engine AWD, 0-60 in a tick of 4 seconds and handling that is out of this world. Not to mention its drop-dead gorgeous. Just read a few reviews, and then say its not worth 120k....

Guest RoundIIRacing Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I think I'd drive the wheels off of it!I'm not much of an import(owner),but this is an exeption to my rule! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I don't think the black really does the car justice. ( I usually adore black cars) http://z.about.com/d/cars/1/7/k/U/Audi_R8_front.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShoMeSomeFun Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 That off color behing the doors is only the only thing that bothers me, but if it showed up in my driveway I wouldnt complain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coty061885 Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 I've never seen one in black, it's a whole new level of hot in that color. The new episode of Fifth Gear (a Top Gear offshoot) had a comparo between it and the 911 Carrera 4S. Basically, the cars are dead even in performance, but I didn't fully agree with their testing methods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest evobound Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 It's a V8. I know - somebody mentioned the A8, which can be had with the W12. Nice tC, btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
