Audi R8 V10 Pricing Starts at $146,000 (US)

already addded to my must have cars wish list

Absolutely stunning. The V8 version just doesn't look as great as the V10. The changes are very small but it just goes to show how little changes make a big difference on certain cars.

the car is so damned sexy

I dunno, i'd prefer a 911 Turbo for the money? Would be a close one tho

NICE GALLARDO SOUND jeje...sorry but its true

I remember saying about 6 months ago that the V10 would be far less than 200 grand, and I called out on it. The article speaks for itself ahem. Quote by me from this page, this was a reply to joe-limon: "ur wrong on both accounts: the r8 v10 is not gonna be 200,000, its gonna be more around 150,000; as for the weight distribution, ur wrong as well because because you also need to account for a lot of other things such as torque, drag coefficients, total weight of the car, and tons of other things" I just copied the whole comment. Read the thing about the price, and here is the link for the article: http://www.worldcarfans.com/109011116109/audi-r8-v10-52-fsi-quattro-world-debut-at-detroit-auto-show

hell of a car - would buy one immediately for that price point

Either this car is a little overrated or I just don't get what's so amazing about it. I try but I can't see why people like it so much. I'm not saying it isn't a pretty car or that I don't like it. (So I'm not a hater, I'm a non-lover.) But people and magazines treat it as if it were the best car ever. That, I can't understand.

agree...it is not even in the same league as a porsche ...and audi = boring as allways. Audi is prbably the most overrated car company from germany

I would rather take the Lambo LP560 since its better looking & original engine sound coming from there, not from an Audi r8.

It seems like people don't understand what the R8 really is, its not meant to be the fastest and pure performance oriented car. It's Germany's equivalent of Aston Martin, a combination of performance, comfort, and most importantly STYLE. If Audi wanted to make a car that ate everything around the ring they would have with their LM racing experience, R&D budget and help from porsche plus knowing what the Gumpert Apollo can do they could of easily made a GT-R eater or ZR-1 eater. Instead they created something the likes of the DB9, pure class and style. So you ask why does everyone rave on about the R8? It's not the fastest, but you know what for how fast it does go it's the classiest and most stylish of the bunch. And it's also the most driver friendly for daily driving. What more do you want? I mean if you can afford the R8 V10, may as well buy an Atom for the track, cuz lets face it race tracks damage your car and unless you are willing to total your car you dont go. So how many people would take their Gallardo LP560-4 to the ring? I bet not many, so it comes down to street driving, and for that the R8 is more than fast enough.

"radmeister" gets it. Not bragging, but here are some facts: I've owned two DB9s (coupe and volante) and I owned an R8. They were all sexy cars that dripped class. You don't get a bunch of 20-somethings drooling, in fact most of them don't even know for sure what they are. As for Ferrari, I was invited to test drive one by the local dealership AND IT BROKE BEFORE I GOT TO DRIVE IT. I want a car I can drive for longer than a week without going back to the service department. I've been waiting 3 years for my R8 5.2 and it just came in yesterday. It is spectacular. They even fixed the jerkyness in the R-tronic transmission.
