Hey I was just wondering what some of you think about the R8. Personally I kinda like it but I would never get one. The main reason being that it has the same engine as the RS4 and it is probably going to end up costing more..plus I kind of prefer cars that stand out and blend in at the same time.

Ehh it would be fun to have if you were into and had to money to collect cars. I think the lines are kinda ugly.

isnt that the diesel? or is that the R10?

**celsdogg** · 10-04-2006, 01:32 PM

i dont think its diesel, its a high revving engine. 8250rpm top engine speed.

Yeah I'm kind of curious to see how well they sell..

the R8 is based on a lambo body tho, mid engine design. and those headlights are supposed to be some kinda new advanced lighting approach.

Yeah..It will be slower then a lambo though...Idk it would still be fast but you would be no competition with the italian sports cars...unless you get a bigger engine
