Ok...but at 150 000 Euros why on earth would you choose an Audi???

If i was able to spend that kind of money on a sports car...for sure i would check a Ferrari or a Lambo.

Audi is probably doing the same stupid mistake as VW with their Phaeton.

Well, it is a car that will match the Lambo and Ferrari couterparts. But can actually be driven 365 days a year.


Clarkson said it best when testing the 8-cylinder R8:
"I can safely say the R8 is one of the best surprises of my motoring life. It is one of the truly great cars and the only hesitation I have in giving it five stars is that, ideally, I?d like to give it six."

"Anyone who?s just bought a baby Lambo ? me ? must be feeling as sick as a dog right now. Because in so many ways the R8 is better."

Yeah man but a Ferrari is a Ferrari. I mean if you're gonna spend that kind of money on a sports car you may do it properly and throw in a couple more bucks (pocket change ) and get a Ferrari F430.
Then you can throw piss at the Audi R8 or R10 (whatever) when you drive along with some chick in the car.

And i forgot to say it looks jawdropping good (unlike the fugly Audi that came from a Robot movie; futuristic styled yes, beautifull stlyed no):

errrr....what section would you suggest it go in. I don't think this section is ONLY for cars that compete with the E60 literally....if so it would be a rather slow and repetive section. How many time can you talk about an E class Benz or an Infiniti ? I feel like most guys on this forum like all kinds of cars especially high performance cars and enjoy reading about them as i do.....
