saying one supercar is better than another super car is like having a bunch of really hot girls to choose from. no matter what you buy, its going to be good!!

[lamorsa92]

why was the audi r8 really made?  well, sometimes God likes to go for a sunday drive too...

[kenbizz518]

Not worth the money... Way over priced. Nissan gtr will dominate this car and its half the price.

[zhbroder]

um i own a 5.2 r8 and i promise there is nothing muted about the exhaust note..

@07Parkour07 well they're both technically owned by VAG, that's why the Gallardo and the R8 share an engine.

[07Parkour07]

In case you didn't knew... Audi owns Automobili Lamborghini, so that's why it sounds like the baby lambo.

Gallardo looks better. IMO. No surprise this car sounds exactly like the G.

So for just $20,000 (I say just because let's face it, 100 grand + on a car, money's hardly an object) you get a V10 engine, upgraded interior, and a B&O stereo that's normally a 6 grand option. Why would you buy a V8?

[DiNatalli]

we are the 99%

[kamagel]

Good looking yea, but the sexiest?? I think not.....

[shobin05]

@Karpinski29 thats a really good quote..

[RCDriftHunters]

Indeed. The R8 is the sexiest supercar!
