R8 5th gear car of the year

[stIm]

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

Oh, right, im sorry Clarkson is the god of motoring and everything he says goes, even though he is simply an entertainer. Im my world, the term supercar cannot be re-written. Im sure you'll re-write it till an A4 or TT is deemed, Super

by the way, just for the record, you have totally and utterly missed my point and so won't bother with talking to you, i suggest you try and read my posts again and this time understand them.

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.

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.

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.

1) They aint super cars anyway so your point isn't worth crap
2) The R8 isn't a supercar and the R10 wont be either so you point is worth Crap
3) Yet again, another member who cannot read. Im going pay for this forum to get proper english lessons. Is the Enzo in the same LINE as a 599, no. The 599 is not a version of an Enzo is it. Your point is worth crap and the 599 IS a GT Car, anyone who is worth their salt knows this.

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 ?
