Presented at Frankfurt Motor Show two years ago as the “Le Mans quattro” concept, the new Audi sportscar has been given the go-ahead in production.

Series production will commence in the fourth quarter of 2006 at Audi’s Neckarsulm facility. 28 million euros will be invested in the R8 production line.

The Audi subsidiary quattro GmbH will be responsible for production. Development and test construction at quattro GmbH and technical development at AUDI AG are currently in full swing. 250 employees will work on the production of the R8.

The market launch is scheduled for the second quarter of 2007.

“Through the R8 we are looking to build on our successes in motorsport and carry them over to series production. This model represents Audi’s very own interpretation of sportiness,” says Prof. Dr. Martin Winterkorn, Chairman of AUDI AG.

Audi is relying on intelligent lightweight design for its R8, a core area of expertise in Neckarsulm. The Audi A2, A6 and A8 were all developed there at the Aluminium Centre using lightweight design technology.

I'm going to be nicer to you by not calling you names,but then what do you accept from ten year old clowns, R9 was just a name that Audi used for a project called "R9", R8 is the real name,R10 is going to be race car and it is not going to be just any race-car.

so where is it?

[RacingManiac]

so who's building the R10 this time? Dallara was responsible for the R8 chassis(the race car), I am assuming it'll be the same thing this time around?

They also did most of the chassis development, much like what they did with Toyota GT-One....

the r8 is really ugly to me
if it wasn't two tone it would look way better
i don't get the point of 2 tone paint
its supposed to make cars look better but they do the exact opposite
the only good looking 2 tone car is the maybach
BTW i'm sick today
i have a cold
i have head ache, I have a sore throat and I am coughing all the time
any suggestion as to how to get better faster?
