Nice find. The official R8 page is cool too.

If I did the conversion right it weighs 3435lbs with 420hp. That should be fairly quick. I wish they could have shaved it down to 3000 flat. The costs would have gone thru the roof even more though.

Is this going to be a $90,000+ car?

pretty sure the V8 version first coming out will start below 100k, and the V10 one coming later will be way over, with the engine from the gallardo.

The latter feature is yet another visual highlight. The observer looks right onto the V8, the very heart of this sports car. Indirect engine compartment lighting by white LEDs, enabling the engine to be seen even in the dark, is available as an option.
^^ wow...

Is Audi considering this car a Super car or Sports Car?

And is this the final product or will their be changes to the body or interior prior to it's debut?


I love the design of this car in and out and hope it stays that way. [sm=smiley20.gif]
