went for a Test Drive with Audi R8 and S8

Audi R8 Suspension

unfortunately they do not let anyone else drive the R8 not even people who showed up in Porsche 996TT's or new Z06's
i was lucky and got more seat time in the R8 because we had to fill up with gas and i got a driver change to someone who was more spirited in driving it

i did however drive the S8 and wow its such a big car but it feels like a corolla manouvering it around, parking was simple too, response was too much wannabe performance car but still cumbersome if you tried

part 1 (mostly intro and getting gas)

Part2 over 200km/h

part3

oh and on a side note:
do not purchase an Audi from this salesman
i was invited to the event and people were told to go on test drives in RS4's S6's and the S8
i asked him if i could test drive the S6, he replied to me, "This is for Audi Customers Only" and stormed off

so i told people at the event about his attitude with me and promised i'd post my oppinion about him
so in my oppinion don't buy a car from this suck up **** salesman

Wait until the come out.

All large cars feel like that.

I would consider the R8 and S8 as large sports cars.
