an honest to god manual. i love you audi.

a little blinged out with the R8 logo in the seats.... gotta attract the professional football palyers, i guess, but otherwise insane looking. this is THE quintessential R8.

DOES ANYONE know the color of that car. is that monza silver?????????????????????

[itisme]

great pics, thx for sharing and pointing out.

i personally think there are too much airintakes at the front, but they might be necessary, so I can live with them in my future R8 ;) :D..

the roof is insane.. that looks awesome, same goes with the engine design and the back... incredible car!

i thought it have DSG S-Tronic? that would be fucking nice with DSG. ultra fast shift times, better acceleration (like a boat) compared to manual. but the torque is the prob.

by the way, the colour is Grace Silver

R...

It does seem logical that Audi would pursue using a TDI on the R8. The torque alone and the "mod" ability to the chip are crazy. Still, I can't justify in a real world the need for more than the V8FSI. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Hey,

Ours will be built soon!

I like how the RPM is red.

why honeycomb grill? because its from quattro gmbh or build by them?

Mega Cool car.

j,

i am already #1 at the dealer for the V12. i'd say i have about 3 more years to make a s*********d of money so i can pay for it. :D

I like it a lot. Manual...

[Rage]

Jeez.....that looks crazy. Bar the 'moschino style' imprinted seats that looks amazing.

[RXBG]

interestingly, the gear map on the lever does not equate to the gear selector itself. notice R. :nono:

[KresoF1]

Different gearbox then in current R8. They use Getrag manual here BTW. So, R is on the same spot as on Porsche 997 Turbo(user of almost the same gearbox).

Audi probably made small mistake with usage of current R8 gearlever...

[Leadfoot]

Remember that this is still a concept so things like gearbox choice may change but with so much torque Audi's choses are limited.

DSG would be nice but it isn't a deal breaker, well not to me anyway. I just like it that Audi had the balls to bring something like this a reality and will compete with the very best of them in terms of outright performance.

The ultimate diesel engine in the ultimate supercar. :D

low redline but surelly high torque range

Check out real pic from Detroit...

I love it - and i like it even more for what it is:

Audi tore down another "barrier" - no diesel in a sports car :R8kiss:

In a manner, that leaves the competition breathless. :burnout:

Some small things, that might find the way into the "regular" R8:

-) full colour display between the gauges
-) transparent roof
-) damper selector on steering wheel
-) chrome around the Navi

We will see.

Audi's future is bright :alig:

Cheers
