2008 Audi R8 - America's Best Handling Car Contender

[antiqua100]

Fuck VW. BMW is King

[streethustla34]

bmw handling OVER audi handling. quattro understeers BIGTIME

[lobzdik]

if there is one thing i hate, its that gay ass rtronic tranny the americans have in their R8s... also, I love how the old R8 V8 gets eaten by a Carrera S ))

[MauriceHippmann]

the awd males it understeer thats a tipical audiproblem

[TheMilfman7]

God I love the R8. ITS SUCH A SEXY BEAST!! >:D

[llllpbllll]

911 killer.. 911 turbo s eats it for breakfast

[Gutubeuser]

o tempo da volta depende do piloto nao do carro

[FFMCitey]

Krashevish you are wrong.

VW is the owner of Lamborgini and Audi so the technology, design and everything are VWs.

(Lambo technology=Audi technology=VW technology since 10 years)

why dont use it if you developed it??? know im sayin :-)

[krashevich]

This is not Audi.

This is Lamborghini Gallardo in fact.

There is no Audi, only VW ( owner of the Audi brand and Lamborghini) using Lamborghini's technology.

Audi's design over it.

Still, nice car.

[manchesterrule7]

Idiot !

[gtasanandreasdrifter]

agreed...

[microcentillion]

i dont see a cliente ever purchasing a acr and a r8. two diffrent worlds. acr is a great car but to extract the numbers it is capable of..requires a well trained driver.. no tcs abs or asm...audi r8 is a gentlemans grand tourer that can be pushed time to time..sorry for typos its late

[superfast30]

Agreed!

[YOUHAVENOFRIENDSFOOL]

I have to agree, the ACR did do a better lap time at nurburgring but it is harder to drive, and as they said in the ACR video if you are gonna drive a ACR to its limits you better know what your are doing as it has no electronics controls

[Straightup28]

Its an Audi but the title says "America's Best..." LOL

[vanhalenmk]

Haha isn't that funny

[TheNewCW]

oh, it looks and sounds so beautiful

[mukangtae3]

no offense but american cars like the viper just have power but no class and and shitty handling

[bhowards007]

thats why I prefer european cars

[razioth]

thats why I prefer european and japanese cars

i hate american shitty muscles

[bhowards007]

thats why the american cars are all bankrupted!!!

[razioth]

indeed

[cyaanara]

MLGCODSTER24 stfu dude, a viper has very little control when your going over 90 mph, and in the audi R8 has very good control compared to the viper, sometimes (other than drag racing) control is better than power, and since the audi R8 has some power and great control vs the Viper with a lot of power and less control, i think in a reg race the audi might win, and again.. stfu MLGCODSTER24

[cobraman281SVT]

you obviously dont know what the fuck your talking about no offense. the viper and the Zr1 vette stomped the audi R8 by almost a whole minute at nurburgring so check your facts before you tell someone to shut up and know what your talking about.

[Malc180s]

More like 30 seconds, if anyone bothers to do a proper lap in the audi.

[mukangtae3]

i agree r8 has balanced power and control unlike the viper

[MLGCODSTER24]

WTF ARE YOU KIDDING!!! I own a viper ACR and that downforce makes the car control amazing, audi r8 is 4 wheel drive. of course its gonna handle good but no the ACR is in a whole different league than that little R8, maybe you should stfu cyaanara.

[Malc180s]

Sure you do child.

The generalisation "4wd = good handling", convinced me.

The viper will grip harder and go harder. I doubt it could handle better than the audi though, certainly not at road speeds. Perhaps you should learn what the term "handling" is actually recognised as meaning.

[MLGCODSTER24]

I actually do have one, the ACR and R8 are way different cars. Think about them for a sec...

The R8 is a child compared to the ACR

[veliciu92]

hahahaha u mean u own the little 1:18 scale of the ACR... Fag

[MLGCODSTER24]

dont call me a "Fag" just because i dont have pics of it to prove it, maybe believeing is more important that seeing... Fag,

Get off your 12 year old ass and do something else besides posting false comments like you do.

[amer1cancer2753]

Those people are right. You do not own a dodge viper ACR and an Audi R8. You are the fag. Believing is more than seeing. That is the gayest thing i have ever heard. Also how hard is it to take a picture of your "car" aka hotwheel you bought at walmart

[mukangtae3]

wait until the v10 or the v12 tdi comes out let's see who doesn't have balls

[fapposkid]

ehh..i dont think so.. r8 is smooth and soft.

the zr1 is verry suttle to look at, but has ALOT OF POWER. MUCH MUCH more than the r8.

same with the viper (although it looks like.. shit)

the bigger engine isnt going to help the r8 much... just make it weigh more.

[SKater199912]

This is the coolest car ever made, ( until they come out with a better one ! )

[MPLSTORM]

VIPER>audi,gm,ford

[exile907]

Corvette ZR1 > Viper!

[MPLSTORM]

In your dreams

[AllianzUltra]

the best car ever

[TamiyaDude]

OOOOOOOOOOOO

I love the car it just needs mo powa

[TamiyaDude]

420hp is not that good for a supercar.

[trxspirit]

its not just about power, dude

it's power to weight

[GundamAngelicDevil]

@TamiyaDude

Dun worry, the V10 and V12 is coming!

[GundamAngelicDevil]

axeldiecast, you elitist lol

[seroyer2]

it is not a super car just looks like one

[yamaharider315]

at least its not some stupid little four banger. youre gonna get preformance with reliability.

[8MunchenBayern8]

Audi R8 best!!!

[nguyentuan1990]

nice car

[sylver2121]

WTF why are they driving the lame ass automatic version. The manual is so much better, plus shifting gears in it sounds so cool.

[FuzzyStone01]

cos they are from US xD

[csia1084]

fuck you, don't generalize americans. the manumatic transmission is faster on a track anyway, thats why they used it dumb shit.

[FuzzyStone01]

Maby faster but this competition is(should be)about handling. The shifting is one of the most important think about driving and handling skill of each car. Still don´t understand why did they choose "manumatic" as you say...

[csia1084]

I don't understand how you equate the handling of a car to its transmission... and still, paddle shifters would provide more control anyway, and more stabillity when downshifting as it matches revs perfectly. Even as a die-hard manual gearbox fan...I don't know what your getting at.

[csia1084]

Oh and as for why its faster on the track... the manumatic is quicker to shift and more controllable. theres a reason that all F1 cars have electronic gearboxes...just like this audi.

[iammalloy]

also lets you keep both hands on the wheel

[GRIS1H1AMS]

that car is gonna be in transformer 2 revenge of the fallen..

[istilluse56k]

i thought that there was a 6MT here in the US?

[kthankxbye]

My neighbor has one, it's totally hot.

[izzymcnaughton]

zr1 bitches

[GauravA42]

this is no match for the GTR in handling, except this is much smoother,

[sspope]

this is no match for the GTR in grip, accelaration, traction and speed but this handles better.

[05336345802]

german cars are good! italians even better!

small problm with the price :S

[rtsoccerplayer]

and american cars are shit

[kthankxbye]

uhh....da captin obvious

[Idoloish]

rtsoccerplayer: "I've never heard of the Chevrolet Corvette, Dodge Viper, Ford GT, Saleen S7, SSC Aero or Scorpion."

Ah. You should do some research before you post something like that then.

[rtsoccerplayer]

lets be realistic. i'd like to see you afford any one of those cars

[Idoloish]

rtsoccerplayer: "I like to bring up irrelevant things to try and shift focus off arguments of mine that have been debunked."

Ah. That sometimes works on others. Just not on me.

[05336345802]

very bad quality but not the design!

[rtsoccerplayer]

yea, design most of the time is nice, but quality is horrible

[audikillsbmw15]

are u gay the quality is perfect

[05336345802]

the answer is no im not gay but im sorry to repead but its right!

simple thing: compare the hummer h2 and the audi q7.. what do u see?

[robbie1490]

@audikillsbmw15 Lol, what are you 12? sounds like it. Plus i think your user name should be switched around. BMW kills audi.

[lawtownbeef]

audi r8 best car of 2008,,,,, good speed,,good cost,,,good handiling,,,,and good mpg....

[Ovechkin81]

Best part is, it will be coming available in diesel too

[sspope]

Yep, that diesel engine has the same amount of torque as train and it can also have better mpg but not sure if they're going to put it in production.

[nleboe]

But the Z06 is still a mulletmobile at heart, Ive seen to many douche bags with new haircuts driving vette's in my area. it performs amazing (and looks alot nicer this year), but I will always choose japanese over domestics.

with the money for any of these cars, I'd tune a STi, AE86, or Silvia. but thats just what i would do.

[ironchopsticks]

wait a minute, i was going to get a haircut on Monday... and a mullet, nonetheless.

[kubomon17]

i would so take this over a 911. and just wait for the v10 version. it would tend to understeer since it is awd, but you can always remove the front axles...

[Ubergood]

too expensive... i would buy a Z06 for that price.

[aurexincarnate]

this guy keeps saying "But" like something negative is coming and then goes into praising it, not to mention the fact that he driver is older than my father.... amounts to a driver fail and a car win

[SuperProtege5]

well you sure as hell don't know who randy pobst is. read his bio, then reconsider what you said.

[arhumraz12]

DAmn i was thinking of buying an aston martin, but now i've had change of thoughts lol

[frankwolf21]

how much is that car going for anyway?

[justincrap]

This car is dying to be beautiful. all that dramatic looking and no perfect handling?? wtf? anyway i think its okay because all Audis Understeers like hell lol.

[midenighty]

i think the ACR did better than the R8

[nleboe]

hot hot looking car... i'll stick with my AE86 for a while though haha...

[Ji99i3]

that audi has killer looks man - much more sexy than a porche
