What a sexy car! :D

It's quite a radical design that makes use of LED technology (light bulbs are much smaller, hence allowing designer to pull the light areas more together).

The new Audi R8 will be on sale later next year. With a 4.2 liter 420 BHP V8 engine it'll get you from 0-100 km/h in 4.6 seconds and help you reach a maximum of 301 km/h.

It comes with 18-inch alloys as standard, but if you need something bigger the 19-inch are optional. With the Bang & Olufson sound system totaling an output of 465 watts on 12 speakers you'll have no trouble getting attention ;)

Maximum torque is 430 nm @ 6,000 RPM. The engine's dry sump lubrication technology allows for maximum lateral and longitudinal accelaration.

You can choose between a standard 6-gear manual gearbox, or go with the Audi R Tronic Sequential-Shift Gearbox, where the F1-like shift paddles at the steering wheel will give you a race feel to it.

The price tag is estimated to be between $85,000 and $100,000.

Well, sigh, another car on the 'To Get List' :p

Looks like Audi is taking the racing business a bit more serious. For 100 grand i'd take the audi anyday before considering a BMW or a benz for that matter.

I saw an advert on the TV last night for this rambunctious little car. Jenn thought I was crazy when I told her I wanted one. "YOU want an Audi:confused:" :lol: I tried to find the advert, but couldn't find it. There are some good ones though, but I thought you all would like this better:D

Top Gear.. "This is like smearing honey into Keira Knightly":lol:

I've seen a couple of these and they actually look much better than the pictures and the video. At that price I am not sure that this is the car I would go for, however I have to admit that Audi did a really good work on this one. But I am not too sure about the head lights..
