Audi R8... How many know about it?

Post by ToolGuy »

This car is stunning! Every time I go to Audi/VW I stand and stare at these things! Audi tells me a 10 cylinder Diesel is coming! More HP and TQ than the gas version. I have also seen these on the streets here. Mid Engine, 420 HO, 317 TQ.How many have read about them? Like? Dis-like?http://www.audiusa.com/audi/us....html

Nice looking car, would definitely prefer a diesel version. Not a fan of the stripe they put on the sides sometimes.But I'd rather have a Z06.

Yeah have to win the lottery or something.$109,000 for one...I have to keep bugging my contact for a ride one day. The problem is he is 300+ pounds and does not fit in them well.

Saw one featured on road & track TV the other night. They certainly look sharp.

Have they ever made a mid-engined car with a back seat? I doubt anyone ever has, but it would be interesting...
