i still do not expect the R8 v10 to make more than 500 hp.

as it is the R8 is /will still be an overall superior machine to the gallardo (mainly b/c it is a newer car)........ with 500 hp the V10 will still undercut the gallardo by about 50K, at least, and perform damn well close to it. even with the power boost the performance difference between gallardo v10 and r8 v10 models will be smaller than the one that exists now.

the V8 is said to nail 60 in 4.1 seconds. the v10 will hit it in less than 3.8 or so. amazing for a car that will cost at most 20K more than the V8 (that is 135K USD) and over 50K less than an F430! for 50K you can take the "surgical precision" of the ferrari steering and shove it!

wow. i cannot lay on more superlatives to this creation by audi.

are they being engineered by aliens? :MTM: :MTM: :MTM: :MTM: :MTM:

SRSLY
