    This one is going to be a hell of a car.
    Cant wait to test drive this baby, I am not a fan of 4wd, but the lsd is going to change my mind? 25/40 is not much, but should also offer some nice driffting potential?

    Yes, it looks absolutely awesome! Imagine what it would do if they release it with the rumored 600 bhp engine .

    So maybe it's time for Audi to lose Lamborghini .

    Hey, did you notice that we have the same number of posts, Rossi? Well, at least we did at 3906 .

    Yes I'm in the list #2 but the dealer has no info (price sheet / order guide) for me to spec the car yet.

    After seeing this car in white in those pictures, I think white with black CF sides it is .

    GCF site has R8 in depth too (118 images).

    http://www.worldcarfans.com/news.cfm/country/gcf/newsID/2070117.001/audi/audi-r8-in-depth

    I should check with my dealer today to see if they've got the order guide.

    We have a real 997tt competitor here. Porsche should be worried. Did not realize white could look so nice. I was thinking silver all along.

    a V-10 R8 would have comparable performance to that of a 997TT.

    I agree fully with Ron!
    R8 is with 420hp V8 excellent car IMHO. Need more power? Buy 997 turbo! Yes, that is the answer IMO.
    Regarding R8... Car is pretty advanced already. It will be true drivers car if you know what I mean.
