[tiobueno2009]

[msteven515]

Worst interviewer in the business.

[DjZoider]

Als ich den R8 das erste Mal bei McDonalds sah, wusste ich sofort: Das is er! xD

Doch dann sah ich den Preis -.-

[zudrittincux]

[madpistol]

Beautiful, athletic, powerful, controlled, and poised...

The R8 is a marvelous car!

[LilJerryFIN]

[Flooorine]

[phattube7]

[Bolerophon]

I think as a head of product development he knows how to drive this car.. :P

[phattube7]

You are very stupid! Head of product development doesn't make him a professional driver.. He's an engineer for fucks sake.

[Bolerophon]

Well dumbass i don't know where you live.. but this ain't a fucking Buick or some... it's AUDI. Those peeps at development team drive those cars almost everyday to test their work.. how i know that? i worked as trainee at AUDI.. fuck face.

[phattube7]

..then you stupid fuckin TRAINEE.. YOU KNOW JACKSHIT!! "trainee" young punk think you know because you sat on their customers fuckin chairs in the waiting room.

[Bolerophon]

[bajanbwoy1]

[erguebopeluu]

[lilgamg]

[0wn3d4g3n]

o dont 4get the speed lol

[0wn3d4g3n]

im eng i like power handling drifting and looks!

[chuckybent]

ne dion sikim:D:D

[LachozaTube]

Look, the Z06 is a fabulous cheap sports car. However, overall, it is nowhere near as technically advanced, buttoned down and precise to drive as the European competition from Audi, Porsche, Lambo, Ferrari etc. You get what you pay for.

[milkman1001]

nah i work 4 audi and a chipped rs6 is miles better

[nazar2007paris]

so beautiful...damn it..

[enzonaples]

THIS CAR HAVE LIGHT WONDERFUL

[AudiV8Power]

haha, i just read the conmanduck comments, you don't know anything about the Deutsch quallity Audi. If anyone with either C6 or Z06 would race with an R8, they should say: "The R8 got a nice ass", because it's the only thing they would se. And to the movie: I would like a ride in the R8, please PM me xD

[xevious2501]

The Audi TT actually has better leather.(ive been in both side by side) The R8's best color scheme is white w Black Trim (TRUST ME). It sounds nice but not aggressive or loud enough. The Hood is very plain. needs something.BTW the 1st prototype is in the movie 'I-ROBOT'

[bimse111]

hahahahahaha you know what Conmanduck, keep your lousy Vette, that means more R8's for the rest of us. Jeeez, how can you even compare that piece of american shit with an Audi? Americans have absolutely no clue what are real car is.. Take that retarded american in this video here.. He spends the first half of the video talking about L.E.D headlights, who the hell other than americans would care about that?

[colinstu]

I feel offended. I'm American and I don't give a shit about the LED headlights...

I care about looks, and power.

[volkanagabey]

AUDI 4-EVER

[alpinaB12coupe]

i love this audi :D

[69ksd]

My future car, this car will be sitting in my garage one day... :)

[RifetOkic]

in germany €105.000 , in holland €145.00

[OhioClub]

nice

[rayamanelly]

I wonder how this car will sell for! I'd buy one when my wife graduates Med school!

[jul350z]

Yo the design on this car is sick! very agressive...i love the vette too it's a different kinda car the vette more raw power this car looks more like straight european super car you know a real head turner!

[quattrings]

Why are we talking about a Vette here? The Vette is just another mass produced, front-engine car... The R8 and soon R10 are largely hand-made exotics. no comparison - end of story. Don't think because the R8 has 420bhp it won't smoke a Vette around the track. Ever heard of the Nürburgring? The R10 is already being tested as we speak.

[conmanduck]

the Z06 is hand made look it up before you just say what you think. and do the math the vette will smoke the r8 and when the R10 comes out we can race the Z07 and see what happens

[quattrings]

Did I mention specifically 'Z06"'- hmmm - don't think I did. Still who cares about the Vette. Still doubt it will be faster than the R10, and it's doubtful it will handle as good, and definitely won't have the Audi interior, or the exterior looks. So you are privy to the specs on the R10 huh? Ya, that's what I thought.

[conmanduck]

if you like looks put a sticker on your car if you like speed try the blue devil. it will smoke the R10

[quattrings]

Sticker? Are you serious- lol FYI: R8 comes with color-matched "sideblades". You have to pay extra for "aluminum" or "carbon fiber". Take a look at the Nürburgring times. The RS4 Sedan almost matches the Z06, and the R8 is much faster than the RS4.  (Oh ya, the standard Vette is somewhere lower on the list). supercars. net

/PitLane?viewThread=y&gID=3&fI­D=0&tID=10073

[conmanduck]

the standard vette still has 400 hp and almost matches the Z06 maby the C6 not the C7. oh and by the way you could buy 2 z06s for the 120,000 asking price for the r8

[vangoghsear]

yeah, the BLUE DEVIL is a real car. I can buy one anywhere. Look there goes another blue devil down the street.

[conmanduck]

it is not out yet but hate on hater

[joey2080]

conmanduck, i think u need to let out ur inner import car enthusiasm, r u scared or what?, u know import cars r the best, so join us, they're fun and very fast, much better than stupid domestics. theres one reason why i love import cars and thats because of the engineering of the cars, they're my style. and of course the fact they r import, they r made out of this country.i love my country, but not the cars here.

[conmanduck]

I have a prelude but my father has allwase has had vettes thats why I like the vette

[TasoulisRules]

It's spelled "always"

[conmanduck]

I am from baltimore forgive me our public schools dont teach us shit

[nokiakevj]

LOL

[kiwibigboy]

Audis smart. In the 80s the japs tried the affordable sports machines like Nissan 300z. Now Audi owns lambourghini they are combining Know how but price challenge to Ferrari. On the whole akick ass machine for the average money maker. Go Audi. Kick ass!

[joey2080]

This is one fine import car!!!

[joey2080]

3 words for ya, import cars rule!!!!!!!

[extractor777]

r8 like a dolphin

[misterpacha1]

Guys y do you always hatin man. We all know each car companies have their things man. Audi is better than bmw blah blah, the all good n shit. this audi is a phenom cus it's actually based on a real race car, so yeah get it straight, it looks awsome and yeah I agree with the bmw guy the new m3 kinda sucks looks like the new coupe 3 series the last one had awsome desighn and performance to back it up. As for the r8 I love it.

[s4life]

are you kidding? the exhaust note is fantastic!

[Southpaw447]

Im talking about performance and handling. But as far as body style with BMW your absolutely right. I can say that the new M3 conept is ugly as hell compared to the E46 which I am extrmely pissed off about because of it's discontinuation becusae it is my dream car. I drive a modified E36 with 3740hp. People in mustangs and chargers and other countless Peices of shit laugh when they see my car but get smoked off the line

[gadumah]

Audi bland? Man you need to get with the times. BMW's have gone the ugly way the past few year especially their interiors. BTW it's bimmer NOT beemer.

[lazyme427]

its not BTW either

[Southpaw447]

German Engineering is German Engineering, Period! Wether it's Volkswagen, Mercedes BMW or Audi the car are always a step ahead of everyone else. I like the R8 but, I could get a 503bhp ML63 AMG for close to 85K but I guess it's all about the look on the Audi

[heinzolesch79]

This car will also come with he V10 engine from the lamborghini Gallardo later this year. It is able to beat cars like Z06, M5 etc on the track then especially with allwheel drive. I think it has a good value and i would rather get one of those then a corvette,M5 or 911 cause it looks really nice.

[conmanduck]

but not the new Z07

[heinzolesch79]

the Z07 is not even presented, maybe in 09. Sorry but the look of a common corvette is just boring compared to that Exotic Audi. The Z07 will have a supercharged V8 with maybe 650 HP, pretty poor because the Audi makes 600HP without a charger and with less litres. A corvette is still a chevrolet, its all plastic inside and outside.

[conmanduck]

it comes out in 08. yes the audi looks cool but it dose not have a 50 50 weight ratio and its carbon fiber and plastic when dose the 600 hp audi r8 come out? the 420 hp is not even out yet. and that version gets smoked by the new 500 hp Z06 all weel drive is for pussys take of the traction control and rip some weel. I will pay 80 grand any day for a Z06 with 500 hp than 120 grand for a 420 hp audi thats heaver.

[heinzolesch79]

the 600HP R8 will have the engine from the gallardo and coming out end of the year. All wheel drive is the best you can get, a massive advantage. It will really bring the power to the street, grip grip and more grip. The ppl who buy a corvette for 80.000 are just stupid cause it looks so normal and boring. 420 or 500 HP who cares, the look is the most important.

[conmanduck]

HP is the most important

[heinzolesch79]

yes you can get 2 z06 for one audi but the audi looks twice as good. And the interior is made of high quality materials, no rattle sounds or whatever. The vette is just plastic both inside and outside and oldschool springs and everything is just simple. ´The look is the most important thing and then the material quality.

[conmanduck]

look up what it is made out of before you just say things the Z06 has many carbon fiber components and if you have drivin one you know it has a complex race suspension. and when you corner its rock solid to the point that normal drivers get the regular vette for comfort. and they are pussys. you can go test drive one now. but you cant test drive the R8 yet so untill you can dont make jugements.

[gaspam]

if you live in nebraska where there are no turns!

[gaspam]

corvette is for white trash redneck dreamers or 55yr old bald country men that inherete some slave money... chevrolet= no class, audi = prestige

[conmanduck]

or hard working middle class men that only have to pay 70 for 500 hp audi makes things alot harder with a 120 price tag for 420 hp so if your a rich snob that got dadys money audi=the car for you.

[DarkDosman]

Some people work for their money ... did you ever think of being that "dady with the money"?

[conmanduck]

one day but for now I am 25 so this is not in my price range but when I am 50 maby

[sdelerium77]

sry for the multiple posts

[sdelerium77]

Its not the greatest exotic there is, but dont be quick to discredit. May I ask who owns Lambo, had in intergral part in the Veyron & Spyker. Not to mention domination the LeMans 5 years in a row, then doing it again with a diesel, and I will not even mention what they have done to the face of rally. Bmws are great cars, but put your emotions aside and look at the facts. Dont be fooled by sales & slogans, the issue at hand is called soul, not sales. If you want sales & longevity go buy a Toyota

[danesummers]

bmw = ultimate driving machine kids, more sales, the definitive benchmark, audi has caught up and i must admit has some very fast cars, but i prefer to tell anyone "I drive a Beemer", than the bland perception of audi, shoot me for tradition, BMW all the way, 2008 M3 dont have to say another word

[sdelerium77]

[lazyme427]

audi owns lambo if you where asking that or did i read what you where saying wrong

[LozbassGod]

The traction is amazing!!!

Coz its Quattro.

And Audi is better than BMW, the RS4 might have less power than the M5, but the RS4's 0-60 is 0.2 seconds slower than the M5. Thats still realy good though, sayingn the RS4 is a V8 not a V10, and its the same size as a 3serie. But it is also more economical, the RS4 douse 21 mpg and the M5 douse 18 mpg.

Just wait for the Audi RS6 to come out, it has more than 550 horsepower and will deffenatly beat the M5 for good.

So audi is more superior!!!!

[joeyscorpionking]

long wheel base. too exagerated exaust note accentuation, and not enough power. nice styling and great that its a mid engine. but does not mean this is a supercar. not really....but im intrigued. Space frame ridgity and High reving engine sounds appealing...who knows if its worth it

[lazyme427]

this car has a top speed of 301 kilometers per hour thats enough for me to call a super car and its got really good handling also the design is really really good if i had the money id buy it

[kalista9]

Noo, Audi is better then Bmw;)

[nealk82]

BMW "was good" their designs suck, Audi is really ramping up production. They have gained a lot of market shares in the past 5 years, so I think BMW better learn to take a second place for a while!

[axpegix]

wow, what a sound...

[eriqcook]

Had to wipe the tear from eye. Beautiful, sigh.

[shooter2701]

Audi is much better than BMW.

They´ve got the best designed

cars at the moment no cars ar

better looking.

[torgriffith]

looks nothing like it sounds

[GlobalGLader]

Audi will take over the word you svine!!!

[patrick1992m5]

audi is god but bmw is better

[joanchen]

you are dreaming
