finally fast enough and pointless enough to be a true supercar. but it's still missing something compared to the gallardo, but i guess that comes down to company philosiphy

What a car! Brilliant. I prefer the wheels from the V8 model. While I wont have to worry about making the decision I would find it quite tough to choose between this and a Nissan GTR. Despite how accomplished the V8 is this V10 is finally a true Audi supercar.

it looks pretty, but a zr1 is cheaper, more powerful, handles better, is faster, more fuel efficient and reliable and cheaper to fix...

More likely cheaper in the US because that's where it's made. Handling is an opinion, people prefer different things and the car isn't even in dealerships yet, you can't say that the ZR1 is more reliable quite.

true true, handling is just an opinion, until it is settled on the track. Then you have numbers.

I would like to agree but handling is a feeling; numbers are just numbers. The DB9, or Aston Martins in general don't pull off the greatest laptimes but, to me their some of the best handling cars out there... Lotus Elises are world-renowned for handling but they don't do it for me... but that's just my opinion anyway

Not only performance matters to call something a supercar. For example, the R8 V10 and GT-R are too inexpensive.

Yes, but by the same token it's not only cost either, and to preclude this car from inclusion in the supercar club because it 'only' costs 150k euros is ridiculous. To my mind it's a bona fide supercar. However, I'm not a huge fan of the visual addenda and am still disappointed they've not been able to fit a DSG gearbox, that would really complete the car for me and make it a perfect ambassador for Audi technology.

Give me "inexpensive" supercars, trust me I will be very happy with and R8 V10 and a GR-R R35 in my garage, then with 911 and the alfa 8C.

in my books a supercar has to break 195mph+, 0-62 in close to 4 sec, look astounding and, most importantly, be a little childish. bit iffy on the last one, but apart from that i'd say this car gets there

what has the same engine as a lambo, goes like a lambo and costs the same as a lambo but isn't a lambo?

Looks much like a.... oh, I probably shouldn't say that joke, 'cos it looks so damn sub-zero now!

Not too sure about those wheels... Looks tacky. I like the wheels on the V8 model much better. More timeless and elegant, which complements the body.

exactly...the previous wheels and head lights and rear defuser looked much more normal and what u would expect form an audi...but the new stuff make look like a novice tnunner was trying to modify it.

Nothing wrong with the car, I even assume those weird wheels will look good in the flesh, but why do these lamers keep fitting s/r tronic boxes with the manual shifting motion contrary to elemental sporty logic (up to downshift following the braking motion and viceversa). Porsche commits the same sin with its PDK. I will always prefer a manual tranny anyway.

been waiting 4 a long time, but somehow i'm disappointed...! those ugly wheels and those exhaust pipe make it look like a replica R8, or like a raper has pimped his ride!!! if i had the choice i would stick to the cheaper, better looking, less flashy V8.
