Official R8 V10 images

[Tommy@Nemesis]

Here you go: 5.2 V10 with 525 HP 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 196 mph

[Howard Hughes]

This should have came this way from the start... who is going to want the Jr. R8 now that this beast is out...

I don't think it's like the 911's were the Turbo looks fairly different from a Carrera...

[chadb2434]

whoa! LOVE the cockpit!!

[fusionx]

looks sick!!!

not digging the rims though

[auggy]

sweet except for the ugly ass rims

[haus4]

Car looks hot, but i dont know about the rims. They look kinda ricerish, and reminds me of spider man.

but my real concern is WHY IS IT AUTO???

[Anthony]

Damn, beat me to it.

[Maverick]

ooo snap.

[KevinS4]

+1 on the wheels. I would change them quickly.

[boravr6]

525 its in the first post lol


I expected a lot more from this car visually, it looks too much like an R8 and the wheels are terrible. At least it has ceramic brakes.


And remember this?

It needs more than 525 hp to do that.

Ah indeed i got so caught up with the pics i blocked out everything else !

[nadroj81]

Who designed these wheels for audi?

[Tiesto]

Wow that car is unreal. I think the wheels are great.

[skunkoncrunk]

I love it! Pure sex!

[dreamcar=rs4]

It is an r8

It should sell for about $180,000 so it should look a lot better than the "standard" model

[OEMplus.com]

We will be offering the bulk of the styling updates on this car for existing R8 customers.

The wheels, grills and interior are already in our database. If you are interested in any of them or the mirror caps, sideblades or rear bumper, please contact us.

[supamannn99]

so.. when's it coming out?

What are you talking about? They basically made the same changes as they do between all the entry level and "S" models; new bumpers, lights, cluster, trimming, wheels, tailpipes, mirror caps, and grill. If you want gaudy cosmetic shit Audi is not for you.

[TWINTURBOA6]

Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

[bigu]

Just a my dream :(

[Hamotee]

Pretty sweet. I can only wonder what it would have been like had they figured out the V10TT option. (They had two cars burn to the ground during testing).

[washyourrhands]

wow. the only thing that is missing is the TT part

i love it tho

You can't exactly call that a new bumper... only a few minor details were changed. Also an R8 and R8 V10 are in a totally different league than A4 and S4.


I guess I'm not that excited about it because it doesn't have forced induction.

[dreamcar=rs4]

the oval pipes do look fvcken sick though

[OEMplus.com]

We're working on that (for V8 and V10) as we speak.

I thought they solved it I guess not.

[sakimano]

it's actually WAY faster

0-60 mph is NOT 3.9 seconds....the press release said 0-62mph in 3.9 (from Audi who is notoriously conservative with posted numbers)

I reckon it will be 3.4 ish, much like the Gallardo 560 (recently tested to 60 mph in 3.2 seconds by Road And Track, despite the Lambo press release claiming 3.7 seconds to 62mph)

[streetrod454]

so.. when's it coming out?

Sorry to say this but it looks like you guys in the US will not be seeing it for at least a year according to Audi US

My dealer in the UK is expecting mine in April 09, fingers crossed

[Raudi 4.2]

i like it.... not a fan of the wheels or the tranny but i am sure that the wheels look much better in person

[09R8]

this will be a beast

[dreamcar=rs4]

Did you guys see the R8 hostage commercial? that shits lulz

[FauchX]

Ohhh....I like I like!

And I love the rims!

[TooLow2.0T]

Looks great! I'm glad they toned down the bumpers from the V10 TDI concept. That thing was way over done and tacky looking. This just looks super aggressive.
