The V8s with an exhaust sound pretty good too. Aren't you one of the guys on here that give me nothing but endless grief about Audi quality??? http://cycle-planet.com/chris/R8spyder1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustangendsley Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 Hell you buy the R8 to kick the S5's ass and then spit it out. The R8 is the best new looking design car i have see. I would love to take one for a spin. It is funny that people say Audi have bad quality, but whay do i see them all over the place new and old running fine?

I cant see that picture, im at work. The r8 is a audi i really like. Dont care too much for there FI cars, but i do like the 4.2 and 5.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pic is of a R8 Spyder that we had come in a month or so back. It's a "Audi Exclusive" color that is a blueish/purpleish white, Suzuka grey or something like that. The window sticker only calls is an exclusive color with no name. Anytime I dare attempt to talk about Audi getting better I get a group that tells me how wrong I am. I just give up now and don't even bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecBGuy Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 audi r8 is nice but i dont really look twice for some reason. now nissan GTR i have to look more then once and im not the only one. its cost less but its GTR i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me Audi r8 v10 Owns the ever living hell out of the GTR in style and design. A v10 the revs to almost 9k in a mid engine AWD bullet. I see GTRs alot more than I do R8s and if given the choice i wouldnt have to think twice. Plus when I brea the transmission which i probably would in either car having too much fun atleast audi would most likely fix it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gire Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I'd buy a V10 R8 if I had the dough and was looking for an exotic. It would be the next best thing to acquiring a Lamborghini. I honestly see a few R8s every week. But I live in a city with a ton of wealthy Chinese and they love the Audi brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's because it is a Lambo...........with a different badge I would still take the GTR any day of the week, better looking and faster Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I jusyt like the idea of saving a bunch of money on an Audi that is essentially the Gallardo. But the GTR although superior to everything in this galaxy, isn't as exclusive or exotic as a R8 V10. You can buy 2 GTRs for the price of 1 R8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

05GT Guru Posted October 25, 2010 Share Posted October 25, 2010 Or 1 GTR and 3 new transmissions for it :lol: then in theory you could drive the car 80k miles before you run out of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That show is so bad, I watched it for 10min when they put a twin turbo v8 r8 against a TT 911, both had like 650hp or something like that. Pretty boring even with cars as BA as that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That particular car they never put a real transmission in it (iirc they put a A4 trans in it) so someone could have done a real road test of it. With the trans that they quickly put in it if you put more then 1/8 of throttle into it you'd blow the trans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
