This is more like old news. The R8 has been doing rounds in various media for ages now.

It's based on the Audi LeMans in NFS Carbon. Real head-turner.

Ya. I was thinkin the same too. But this R8 appears in Top Gear Magazine in the Dec of 2006 issue and written like this, " THE AUDI R8'S FIRST-EVER public appearance came in late September...... "
But this R8 has appeared in GT4 already. And i have seen it in a mag long ago too... ... what happen....

yeah, the news had been around quite some time. but real production had just been started as well official test drive reports by journalists.

there's nothing much exciting with Audi R8. IMO its just an attempt to push the limits as well as Audi's capabilities.

yeah, and that's why we lost so much fun talking of a new car when we knew so much about it before its official launch. imagine savvy and SNEO, those 2 cars were discussed in internet way too long before sales started. aint no fun rite?

LOL...only some dinosaurs knew about it. So it is ok if some humans don't.

Anyway, what I wanted to say was that stuff about the R8 has been out for longer than I care to remember.

lol @ audi pushing limits, audi is more like pushing the 4.2 V8 into every car they make.

But fwiw, it's a "resonably priced" mid engine sports car, not in the supercar league yet. I'd take this over a cayman anyday. VW group has the gallardo to fill in the 500bhp market, and murcielago for the 600bhp market.

Asthetices wise, it's damm close to be the best offering right now.
