First R8 Written Off

[NSXType-R]

Yeah, V10 doesn't make any sense at all. However, it could be twin turboed, like it is rumored in the RS6.

[Ferrer]

Even though "Car and Driver" (Who have actuallly driven the car) say:

"this new generation, mid engined sports car has dynamic qualities that make the once-supreme Acura NSX feel downright unstable in comparison."

That's normal.

I don't EXACTLY know why it doesn't make sense to put in a V10, but to me it jsut seems to make more sense to really beef it up and jam in a NA V12 in there; but VAG will probably do some cost-shaving-sharing BS and steal Lamborghini's V10 again...

But then what's the point of having bought Lamborghini?

Badge whoring?

As for the wreck...

[fisetdavid26]

That's sad... such a beautiful car. As for the engine, I don't think it would be clever for Audi to put a V10, as it would be direct competition to the Gallardo which is not what I would call a good move from VAG. I think the R8 would be a good fit between the Gallardo and the Murcielago, probably with a diesel V12. That would be interesting.

It is probably the best busisness choice but I find all that sharing bullcrap is all so soulless, so put in the V10, have no soul - even if I had the money I wouldn't buy it.

Why would you say it's "the best business choice"?

[herojan]

Oh amazing.

[Kitdy]

Because they are sharing that V10 with Lamborghini... slap on two turbos and BAM! "New" Audi engine.

Unless they already have a V12 diesel which I am not aware of...

Ok, it seemed like you were referring to buying Lamborghini:

[Ferrer]

I still think that there wasn't much point in buying Lamborgihin if Audi wanted to compete with them. I guess that when Porsche takes over Volkswagen a big shake up will take place.

[Pando]

I don't really see the R8 directly eating on Lambo's territory. In my opinion they have a similar relation to the one of Phateon - Continental GT.

Well you're right, not as is, but if it gets the V10...
