Due to Audis relation with Lamborghini this car will be slower than the Gallardo. It won't pack more than 500hp, beacsue if it would, then it would inflict with Gallardo sales. A spoke to an Audi dealer and he said that the R8 will be priced at around 90k. 911TT owner can sleep tight, this car won't be any competition at all.


Jaguar and Aston Martin don't have a problem doing this, so I would think that there should not be a problem with Audi and Lambo.


You are wrong. Jag and AM do have problems. Just look at the new Jaguar XKR, it has 420hp. That is a quite some power but not enough for the car to be faster than its 450hp powered sybling called the DB9.
The Gallardo 2006 has 520hp which is perfect to keep itself distant from the R8 which is romoured to have 480(top of the line version).
The last 12 months Lamborghini has been a profitable company and there is no way VAG will ruin that by launching a Gallardo killer from Audi.
