That has to be the most boring car video I've seen. No revving the engine or anything exciting!

Don't get me wrong here, the car is amazing. It's just the video. They've managed to make an extremely bland video of an exciting car...

Audi is pretty good at bland...
This version of the R8 is one of the few things that's not bland in Audi's lineup. But then again, like all non-bland Audis, it's powered by a Lambo engine!

Yes ShinyG it's powered by a Lamborghini engine... There is one small little detail that you're missing. It's the engine that AUDI designed FOR Lamborghini.

"one of the most glorious sounds??" an M5, M3, any ferrari or lambo or C63 sound better IMO

true, the c63 and the m's have an amazing tune. this uses a 560 engine. they even made the rear look like the gallardo. lambo should sue their boss lol.

I prefer the sound of the M5 V10 which sounds more highly strung than this.

yeah carrera gt and m5 e60 sounds both awesome, like a monster shouting, because he wants to get out of the engine. Gallardo/R8 engine sound is awesome too, Lucifa described this sound nicely.

Great car! Now even better performance, still not matching the original prototype, Le Mans Quattro's Bi-turbo V10.
However, I believe Audi would price this car's MSRP cheaper in the United States. Since being 183,000 will be too close to the new Lamborghini LP560-4's price.

I like the audi but in the video it seems like it was going slow for some reason

this car's great! it's so beautiful, and that engine... the sound! my god... the only thing i do not like about it, it's the wheels... they do not match with the design of the car! come on audi, couldn't you do something better looking?

the engine sound definitely resembles lamborghini, but more.... muffled. not as raspy

the sound of this engine works quite well - in the lamborghini, it sounds like a lamborghini should - loud, brash and angry - while in the audi it sounds like an audi should - quiet, controlled and subtle.

Where's the DSG? It's all it needs to become the perfect supercar.

DSG is not strong enough for this hugely powerful engine, it can be installed on the GTI, but 5.2 V10 would melt it durig first Launch Control.

oou come on guy!! the engine isn't too strong at all!! I think you've forgot that a Bugatti Veyron with a 8.0 litre W16 and 1250Nm of torque also works with a double clutch gearbox...right?!..or even a HPG R32 VW Golf producing 600HP works with it..

I think most of the people who spent ?107'400 in the "base" V8 model, and then some ?30'000 just in optional extras are going to be really pissed off when they find out they could have gone for the V10 by waiting some months and spending ?5'000 more.

Hate the rear end. Too much plastic grill. Engine sound is too subdued. This car is all hype.

if audi never bought lambo this car wouldnt even be around,its a gallardo with an audi body. i wish that merge never happened,even tough lambo had a record sales year last year. lambos arent the same and audis are getting better because of the merge.

oh no, unfortunatelly you're wrong. The things same on LP560 and V10 R8, are the engine (with many modifications), suspension, gearbox and electronics. Only 15% of parts are shared. That's the VW's 20% rule, where up to 20% of parts are shared and never more.
