NICE! That ride looks siiiiiick dude. I hope you can get it.

Well if you got an extra 100 grand by all means !

420HP mid-engine audi....mmm..... don't really like the styling at all though. Looks like a butchered gallardo replica.

Fuck that... the R8 looks way nicer than the Gallardo, in my opinion.

Car looks sweet, i like how audi has redesigned the front ends of their vehicles.

its yours hammered, if you see it you will have it. :)

The R8 looks way sweeter than a Gallardo and much more affordable to own.

I dunno if I can buy a new one so I was hoping to pick up a used one when the V10 version you see in the video is out.

Here is a writeup on what the car junkies think of the R8: http://www.fourtitude.com/news/publi...cle_2863.shtml

Sry to break your leg but you need an invite to buy that piece of art. Even though the list isnt as rare as Enzo's or Bugatti's, its still a list of people they choose.

Ya Ive been reading about the R8 in some of the car mags at work. Looks to be a pretty killer ride!

Hope it works out for ya!

After seeing how well you did what youve got now, Im looking forward to seeing what you could do with that!

I'm actually wanting a Bentley GT.... only 169,000
A lil more affordable then like a +300k ride, like a Murcielago or Ferrari 430...

If i had a choice on any supercar, i think it will be Aston Martin DBR-9. Illegal on the streets, if you can get one on them! Build for racing purposes only

Need an invite? What are you talking about?

Audi of Richmond sold 8 of these already and just waiting for delivery.

If you could afford one you just walk in and buy one, configure it and wait for it to arrive.

If you really have the time and cash you can specify European delivery and you can go fly to Germany and take your R8 on a rip on their test track before they ship it here.

Well my ride isn't finished yet! :c-tard:

Just blew up my OEM clutch at the track so that is being replaced with a aftermarket one, new Stasis 4:1 center differential to replace the OEM 2:1 unit and Stoptech 13" brake kit.

For the body I have a new S4 rear bumper coming, Sportec front bumper and sold the 19" Keskins you see in my sig.

It was very hard to let those custom wheels go but I should be repping a set of 20" SDS (Seven Deadly Sins) Invidia wheels

http://audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=121063

but if that doesn't work out then I'll be rolling on these Sportec 20's

european delivery can save you money, because once you drive it there you dont have to pay all sorts of taxes on it being a new car; you drove it there which makes it used. it can work out to being a free trip to germany and some money back.

the r8 is in gran turismo 4, and its an amazing car to drive in the game. i dont know how well that compares to real life but im sure its spectacular, not to mention gorgeous. as far as comparing it to the gallardo, i dunno... the gallardo is damn sexy. just an fyi gallardo is pronounced guy-ar-do. akon needs to go fuck himself
