Audi R8: 911 beater?
http://videos.streetfire.net/video/e...2500fffd84.htm
There's the latest vid of this car. This looks definitely more eye-catching and supercarish than the 911 Turbo or GT3.
My only problem with it is that its based off the Gallardo's platform and will likely share its powertrain or the RS4's powertrain. I wish Audi could have gone all-original with the whole car instead of making a Gallardo in drag.

Not a big fan of Da Silva, but the car does look nice. It is a shame that it is restricted by the awd drive train of being a true driver's car. Why can't Audi dump awd and go after Ferrari or Porsche / Aston with proper rwd cars that aren't only fast but are as passionate, communicative and driver oriented as Ferraris. Overall however who would have thought that a group that was on the verge of collapsing 12 years ago would achieve such success.
Long live the A4.

^^^R8 does not cost the same as the F430.
F430 is def. a car in it's own league. If I had aroudn $180k I'd buy one in a heartbeat. The way it sings is just heavenly.
