Sweet! :D
 
That is a beautiful car, I always loved that design. Est. price tag $150 :eek: to compete against Carrera GT and Enzo. Luckliy, Audi's depreciate pretty bad. So after 5 years, I might be able to get it for $45k :biggrin:
 
Yeah, the R8 is gonna be a hot ride.

I told my wife I would buy her a Q7 when they come out. I might have to say the deal is that I get a R8 when it comes time to make it even :biggrin:

I'm under the impression that Audi was aiming towards 911 turbo type of car... similiar to their Gallardo?

This source says the engine will be derivative of the Gallardo V10 or the new S8.

I thought there were 2 versions coming out..a bi-turbo v8 and then a v10.
610 horsepower is more than enough to compete against the 911 turbo :smile:
It definitely has a nice interior..
