    ps shouldn't there be a comma after the wait in your last sentence and an and instead of the comma after engineered in your first sentence. Sort your own punctuation out before having a go at others DUMB ASS. Hypocrite moron

    My guess is you don't really like the R8 do you?? I'd call it a supercar any day of the week...

    Is there ANY sportscar that has come new on the market that has ever won this many tests and been elected as many times as the R8? I'm speechless!

    Its only winning 'awards' because for the money its an excellent sports car. If you think its in the same league as say a 360 CS then you obviously haven't been near either car.

    Have I ever said that it's in the same league as a 360 CS? C'mon dude. Keep it real.

    And for the R8 being a supercar, I'd say it's one of the best everyday-supercars ever made.

    Your term everyday proves beyond any argument or opinion that it isn't a supercar. No supercar can EVER have the term everyday anywhere near it.


    So why hasn't anyone answered my question. If the R8 is a supercar, what is the R10 going to be.

    Surely even you lot can't say that you can call a car supercar when its not even the top model in its own line.

    Yes you can. That's why Clarkston said it REWRITES the term "supercar".

    I answered it. and why not? are you saying just because "y" is more powerful than "x", that "x" is less of a supercar? clearly not. We both know that some supercars are WAY at the top and deliver HUGE amounts of power, but there are some supercars that dont have excesses of power but choose to deliver the power they DO have in the best possible way and are very well balanced machines. Ie the R8

    I think this is an excuse that Ferrari etc use when their so-called supercars can't be used daily for one reason or another, namely reliability.

    The R10, R8RS or what ever it's called will be an even quicker version of this supercar. Surely any dick would understand that.

    By your reckoning then the 599 isn't even a supercar because there is the ENZO at the top of the Ferrari tree. But oh yes, it isn't a supercar anyway, it's a GT car because of it's front engine placement.

    There is not one thing you have added this time round that has moved your argument forward.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    But if you call an R8 a supercar, then you obviously call a 360 CS a supercar, yet you say the R8 isn't in the same league as an 360 CS - really confused now.

    An Audi TT isn't in the same league as an R8, does that make the TT a supercar too ?

    Well for a start only things such as an Enzo, F40, F50, Zonda, Carrera GT, Koeniss what ever its called , Mclaren F1, SLR etc are supercars, the rest are not.

    Never seen another 'supercar' have to be advertised on TV, which isn't not for selling the car, its using it to promote its brand and sell lesser cars. De-values the R8 beyond all respect.

    So if the R8 is a supercar, what will that make the R10, a super dooper car. How can an R8 be called a supercar when Audi already had have version with a V10 ready?? It aint like they are stripping out the car and adding anything but an engine.

    If the R8 is a supercar it makes a mockery of the term and then what exactly isn't a supercar. Soon enough, by your terms of a supercar, nearly everything on the road will be one.

    dude... you might have the correct use for the term "SUPERCAR"...

    but hey, it's just a term. don't start an argumet. stop acting as if you are the god of words.

    if you feel like the R8 is not a supercar, then so be it. it's your opinion, we respect it. but please respect the opinion of others as well.

    the TT and R8 are of different league, but both are considered sportscars. even the SLR, Murcielago, Enzo, Carrera GT and other "monster" cars are considered sportscars, it's just that their capacity and capability of the engine is considered so they are called SUPERCARS. right??? a car is considered to be called a SUPERCAR if it met the DESIRE of a driver... if the R8 met the desire of journalists and other ordinary drivers, then it has the right to be called a SUPERCAR...

    and another thing... if i have a lot of money and buy a SUPERCAR, is it possible for me to use it everyday?? OF COURSE!! as long as i have the credits for the fuel and the guts to bring it to the crowd.... a SUPERCAR is still a car, and no car is produced that is used with limitations...

    P.S. if you really are a car enthusiast, then you will probably understand what this forum is for...
