    Default Check out the New Audi R8!

    Click Here for Video <=-
    Click on Dimension R8! Awesome!



    Audi R8 is based on the Audi Le Mans quattro concept car, unveiled three years ago. Confirming its ambitions, the R8 features a mid-mounted engine with a maximum power output of 420 bhp and peak torque of 430 Nm reached at 4,500 to 6,000 rpm and distributed between front and rear axles in 44 to 56 proportion.

    The Audi R8 jumps from zero to 62 mph in just 4.6 seconds and reaches a maximum of 186.6 mph (301 km/h).

    The Audi R8 is fitted with 5-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels as standard, but the car may also be ordered with more appealing 19-inch wheels. The rims are mated with 235/40 size tires at the front and up to 285/35 at rear.

    Somebody can't count...

    Nice car, I've seen a couple of them and they seem very low.

    Looks very good.
    The side air intakes look too much like a mustang though.
    The back does too but not as much.

    Looks very nice. From a performance standpoint I'd say ehhh... as .2s less than the RS4 at +$40,000-60,000 more dollars. Then again I guess it probably handles better and whatnot. But as for me, its track or it gets driven like a camry (well most of the time), so I would have liked to see them suck a little more straight line out of it.

    Otherwise beautiful car. I'll never have one, or anything like it. But eventually I can play it in some game or something. Ehh...





    Edit: For that price I would probably take a Tesla Roadster assuming they were available. 100% pure electric powerhouse baby! Edit: Although they would have to fix those tranny issues first.

    I would probably take a lotus exige over that. It's smaller, cheaper, better gas mileage, faster 0-60, might even handle better. The only Thing I would be missing would be the extra 36 mph at the top end, but I wouldn't want to run with a supercar anyway.

    That has awd, doesn't it?

    Would probably do better in the snow, but I wouldn't be driving my racecar in the snow anyway, would I?

    By the way,Lotus Exige.
    You love my sig.

    C'mon Top Gear! We need a Stig test drive!

    Its a nice looking car, looks like you can get more power/performance for less with other cars, but maybe it handles better than those other cars?

    Not that it matters, like I could ever afford one. lol

    That is one fugly looking car... imo at least.
    People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.

    I saw this car on top gear, I even have it recorded on the DVR. It almost beat a british fighter jet in a mile drag race (the fighter jet had to go up a mile, then come back down). I don't remember the stig doing a drive, but he probably did.

    That's one fugly looking car
    the R8 isn't the best looking thing either.
    You love my sig.
