I don't know if it is the best that car can do, but 8.13 should be a good time .
Look at how it goes through corners
I drove the R8 only in the city and I loved her . Especially the Rtronic, the gearbox .
As new the price appears exaggerated - it starts from EUR 120k (with something more you get an F430)-, but you can find it used in Germany for 80-90k even now .
In 2 years it should be enough cheap to think ...
420 HP, some modifications ..
Bye and happy new year!

My Ride: 2011, X6 Hybrid . Alpine White , every option. 20" Conti' NON runflats,OEM trunk spoiler , LUX V3 AE's , HP Thunder Fogs , custom front bumper reflector delete........
I would have thought the R8 would have paddle shifters ? It certainly is a beautiful car car... the related videos are almost better than the lap..... Audi have stated some pretty aggressive objectives. In the next 10 years they plan to overtake BMW as the largest producer of luxury vehicles in this segment and provide better returns as well ! ..... the new R8 and 5 are the start of their new design and tecnology push. Good for Audi !! BMW needs as much competition as possible to maintain their position .

I absolutely love the R8, but I'll take mine with the gated shifter manual. The R8 with a V10 is coming in the near future.
There is couple on Ebay going for $179,000 and $190,000. Thats a big premium.

Try to imagine a V10 biturbo, fully remappable, ahah!
Congrats to Audi!
