da new v10 from da new lambo lp560-4
-
yes but the v of the rs6 has turbo's and the V10 of the R8 hasn't :)
-
was that with the engine from an rs6?..572hp?
-
it isn´t a RS8 because the RS8 never excist its only the R8 5.2 FSI
-
use the &fmt=18 to get it unsquished
ie.
/watch?v=_mS2J9Nabbg&fmt=18

Yes.... The the image is narrower than normal, so when you see the R8 (V10) from the side, it almost looks like an Audi TT....
And that isn't good :D

What the hell? The video is blatantly squashed.
R8 dont have RS badge and never will have this is R8 V10 5.2 FSI 525HP. Redline is at 8700rpm 0-100km/h 3,8sec 0-200KM/H 11,8 sec...1/4mile in about 11,5s@125+mph. Ring Time, there isnt official time, but we think about 7:35... Audi 4 EVEr!!!! DTM Racing Team!!

You are right regarding the name, but remember this video was taken in eastern 2007 - which is over one and a half year ago. As far as I know this is the first live video of the R8 with the V10 engine (at least on a track), and I needed to give it a "name".

If you look at the side air intake, and lissen to the engine - it's easy to see/hear that it's not a standard 4.2 litre V8 R8....

Yeah im not saying its an ordinary R8, im saying they wont call it the RS 8. They'll just call it the R8 V10. They have a V12 TDI version and they didnt call that the RS 8.

That might be right and it might be wrong. Remember this video was taken in april 2007, and is from a test mule. Therefor impossible to know what they will call it. This is/was just my suggestion :-)
