Should i get the Audi R8? - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

My dealer just called me and said he has a black R8 for me. Has anybody bought one yet on this board? if so, can i get some feedback. I know it only has 420 hp but i've read nothing but great reviews!

You could always wait for the V10 version. Rumors say it might get the twin turbo V10, though it might not (because it'll probably upstage the Gallardo).

Yeah, I've heard it will get the new RS6's engine in it also. I say go for it, they are a very sexy ride.

Definatly go for it. Buy the R8 now and sell when the rumoured V10TT edition comes out :p

Yo uwill eb humiliated in the straight line, even by a Porsce Carrera 2S.

Are you sure gustav? i've seen some pretty good numbers for the R8... i woudn't say a C2S would humiliate it... Did you race the R8 in the Supercar Shootout?

I've seen a well driven one (factory driver I guess) flying at the ring and that tells me a lot. I respect the car but still can't get used to the Audi name.

Still, it's on my short list along with the GT3 and the next CSL.

Well, i wouldn't buy that car. Its too slow for a super car. A Carrera S is faster as Gustav said
