			Seen a couple in Toronto, gorgeous sound, nice compact dimensions, and frankly, I think its a stunning looking car that's far more modern and interesting than its competitors.  Can't wait to see the diesel V12 - apparently almost 740 ft*lbs of torque

			My friend , and oldest daughter's soccer coach, has one.  Very, very nice car.  It really does look fast just standing still.  lots of lamborghini bits in the drivetrain.  probably the best "supercar" for te money......

Actually that's the standard paint scheme. Optionally, the side panels are available in body color. Lamborghini is owned by Audi and the R8 is almost a fifth Lambo parts. May get the Lambo V10 next year, too. The diesel is probably too big and heavy for the R8, I've heard. | ||

| Now in 993 land ... | 
			I checked one out on the interstate a few weeks back. Looks very nice in person, going down the road. Once the driver spotted the 993 he hit the throttle pretty well and it took off in a decent fashion.    Well done car. I can't say I'd buy one if I were in the market. Audi just isn't a supercar company ... I think Audi 80 when I hear their name ... George | ||

 I just had never seen an R8 with white as the base color before. I think it looks really nice. I heard that the coming V10 will be an Audi V10 not the Lambo one.
