I would absolutely love to own one of these sometime in my life. It looks so gorgeous in black....anyone have more hi-res pics of it in black?

Black was gorgeous, but i wanna see the odd colours, especially the Red and Green. I'd probably get Black or Grey, with the carbonfibre side pod thing

Agreed. I wonder how hard it'd be to get a ride in one.....

I love this car a lot, but it needs more power IMO.

1) There's one coming
2) They have to upgrade the Gallardo as well, so as to not tread on Lambo's toes. They will make the Gallardo more powerful around the same time the V10 R8 is released to stop it stealing Lambo sales.

Damn hope they've got one at Basingstoke Audi and that something goes wrong with the A6 damned soon...

Not to mention possible overlap with Porsche or something...

It really doesn't. It lapped the Evo magazine race track faster than a Koenigsegg CCX.

Only because limies can't seem to drive properly without AWD

I think it could use more power. Look at it. It wants more power. It wants a V12 but will only get a Gallardo's V10.

Now, now Mr. Tiv...

IIRC I read a EVO quick review of the new S5 that the writer was near the Audi factory and saw an A5 of some description come blasting past, with what he was pretty damn sure was the V10 soundtrack.

I'd love to a V10 engined R8. We'll have to wait and see.
Don't mind Tiv there, he just really doesn't like AWD...or Limies for that matter.

Suposedly theres a diesel R8 coming out as well...

[NSXType-R]

Yes, the V-10 diesel from the Q7.

It should be interesting indeed.

They really can make it a halo car and market as a "road version" of the Audi R10.

I think it'll be a V8 diesel actually.
