And besides the heavy camouflage - looks quite finished

All sounds very prommising. But sure hope the MK.I R8 signature sideblades will Be retained.
Would be a pitty to lose this design differentiator...
As always - taste is a personal matter.
I personally quite like it and sure look forward to the RS7 :hahahehe:

Back to the roots - S-Line front facia wise that is. The B7 A4 and the C6 A6 pre FL had a distinct S-Line front bumper design...
Been approved by Audi board.
My take: 99,9% that we will see an R8 Mk. II
A sidenote on Mk. II R8 and Gallardo - both are way into development process, meaning that Porsche has minor if any influence on them.
The big impact of Porsche taking over the VAG sportcar...
Some clarifications here:
1. Audi remains responsible for the "modular longitudinal matrix" - which is not only A4, A5, Q5 (+Porsche Cajun) BUT A6 & A7 as well
2. Audi is responsible for the...
Not sold yet, BUT it usually is a good sign, as for me, the design of new Audi's has always to evolve (R8 and A7 as an exception :hihi: )
Let me start to point out my observations:
...
1.09,6 to be exact
Just to put it into perspective
1.09,5 Lambo Murcielago LP 670-4 SV
1.09,6 Audi R8 GT :hihi: :R8:
1.09,6 Porsche 911 GT3 RS
1.09,7 Corvette ZR1
1.09,7 Porsche 911 GT2
What I mean is - Sport auto has the category of wet handling. And at that particular day it was wet AND cold = 12° C / 54° F
In the current sport auto the R8 GT underwent the Supertest.
Besides this phenomenal laptime of 7 min. 34 sec. the R8 GT scored:
in 8 categories the highscore 10/10 points
in 1 categorie 9/10...
More than nice :thumb:
I am convinced that a stronger version of the A1 will still appear.
It might be called S1
It will NOT have quattro - the Polo platform is not prepared for that. Maybe A1 Mk. II
Sorry to say, the...
To me, they are not completely different:
The grill introduced in the original e-tron (Frankfurt) evolved into e-tron II (Detroit) and further into e-tron Spyder (Paris). The quattro concept is...
Bingo!
And the new C7 A6 will be shown at the end of this year
RXBG: sure look forward to seeing your pics. Might well become my favorite R8 combo ;)
Enjoy here and keep us posted :cheers:

Man, this is not a garage - it is an Audi shrine :bow: :0:
one more, if not THE reason to revesit Taiwan after 23 years ;)
Lot of your other points - agree BUT R8 only "shortcomming" is the lack of a s-tronic gearbox.
But if you drive it, especially the V10, the R-tronic annoience evaporates after a few meters.
And I...
S5 SB has the V6
Cheers
seb.
:thumb: that's why we are lucky to experience it at the peak.
As tempting lightweight / downsized future Audis will be - it will be different
The RS5 will still draw circles around a M3 with winter tires in snowy, or even wet conditions ;)
OK RXGB, now SIGN the damn contract and let it come quickly ;)
J/K - great choice overall, especially as there is only one interior colour for me.
You know whar we expect after arrival - PICS,...
I guess BMW made it back into the Desing "game"
Chris Bangle gone, BUT Adrian von Hooydonk took over, and how.
@Ben, of course you are ;)
