I really like that rear wing. I hope that it is really an option from Audi, not just something aftermarket.

If it ditches Quattro all-wheel-drive let's also hope that it doesn't handle like one too.

I can't imagine they'd ditch Quattro. That would suggest that for real sports driving it's redundant, a message that would harm the rest of the range.

the article says it is meant for racing/track, and therefore fuel consumption and weight really matters a lot even if it is just or a few kgs or litres, so Audi´s message of AWD being the perfect mixture for a 365 daily driver is still very true. but a racecar/trackcar doesn´t need AWD at all.

Don't get it, why is Audi trying so much to
play on Porsches territory? There line-up is
more then ok now, they don't need to make a
GT2 or GT3 contender. And even if they wanted
i don't think they could achief that level of
a drivers-car...

Now the R8 will start swimming & say, the fastest audi in water, Fishy very fishy I must say. The diffuser looks good but the wing is hideous & imagine this club sport on the spider then it will looks like a big audi TT.

Why not a light version of the V8, less weight, less expensive. Racing is about saving weight!!!!!!!!
but at least it is going the rite direction, take the GT3 as a role model, it is THE driver´s car!

they are shedding 100-150 kilos! that's a good amount of weight if ask me.

yeah, but look at the GT3, the ultimate driving machine, it has 435BHP and that´s way enough to be a stunning track car. they should take the 4.2L V8, make it 450 BHP (like they are doing for the RS5) and get rid of of the AWD and as much weight as possible.

its cool, but i still hate audi's for they massive holes in front, it looks like something from rieger. :S
they should just have kept the front simple and without massive holes...more like a....porsche

QUESTION: What kind of performance would an R8 with a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S, 4.8litre V8 Twin Turbo engine have? In the Cayenne it generates 309kW, 750Nm, 0 - 100 in about 5 seconds. So what if we put it in that smaller, lighter R8 body? Anyone have an idea what 0-100kph and Maximum Speed figures we can get?

wouldnt it be easier to tweak its engine instead of swapping it? a 4.2l v8 twin turbo would sound good :D

they tried with a turbo engine for the R8. they couldn't solve the overheating problem.

I don't know, the thing is the 4.8 V8 Twin Turbo has a Really healthy dose of Torque and I agree with you It Sounds Awesome, i think V8's give the best sound, especially if you install some Magnaflow straight exhausts.

Thanks Scratchy, too bad isn't it, because 750Nm would have made the R8 a real Monster!
