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...
Your absolutely right, but i fear you have missed the point. For me a supercar shouldn't have been created with everyday in mind. Of course you can use anything everyday if you want to, thats not what im saying. Im saying that the design procces shouldn't be compromised.
Which is why for me true Supercars will always be things like 288 GTO, F40, F50 over Carrera GT, SLR or Zonda, but i have to conceed the later of the two groups are super cars as the meet pretty much all the desired criterea.
PS - As far as i can see, most on here simply want to fly the Audi flag regardless. I own an Audi S5. I love it, i think its far better than my last M3, but no car company on this planet will ever make me say something is what its not, simply due to the badge. I wonder how many people on here have spent seat time in these cars, or owned one to be able to comment and pass such absolute judgements?
i exactly know your point... it's just that some supercars are produced in a given limited quantity (called premium), and not all supercars are premium...
this forum is used for discussion of the products of audi, to appreciate or discriminate them. look what happened to the A1... at first, most of here discriminated the design, concept and size. but later on, as new images show up, they start to appreciate it...
i admit i love audi. but that doesn't mean i am going to buy audi only. i currently own a Toyota Fortuner (IMV4), which i was dying to have one before, and i love it. and i'm not gonna change it for an audi, simply because this simple but elegant SUV is cheap to maintain compared to Audi, BMW, and Mercedes, even to Honda. and it is simply beautiful.
the point here is that Audi fans are fans, they are not obssessed with it. they just want to share different opinions.
