    Not a lover of the looks but there is no denying it's capabilities. The most impressive car to hit the streets in the last five years (excluding the Veyron of course).
    Search and you will find the truth.

    Due to insurance reasons I couldn't drive it.

    But I had a passenger seat ride. Engine feels very strong, almost no lag.
    Gear changes very fast and perfect, still automatic for economy drive works just fine (very DSG style).
    Car looks better IRL than in pictures.
    Interior. Higher quality than expected.

    That was my take on those two accounts seeing one in real life. Still can't comment on speed/handling since I have yet to drive/be driven in one.

    I know someone who has cancelled his order for his, said it was a brilliant car on the track, fast as hell and responsive like a house fly but dull as dishwater on the road, and would have ended up sticking it in a tree by being soooo bored that he would have been playing space invaders on the copmuter!

    Don't know myself........undecided
    So fast, it will re-arrange yer trousers!!

    I live in Belgium. as the second to order it. I got attracted by the excellent performance vs price aspect which is indeed unbeatable.... I placed the deposit which was refundable.

    after three months and seing the car at different shows i just realized how simple this car was design was. its not a sexy car... it has no class... and I discovered that what I like about cars are in the AUDi designs... and I prefer to loose some performance but have a car that I can admire designwise as well...

    I got back my deposit and that was th end of the story.

    waiting for TT R(S) and RS5, it will be one of these two cars that I will go for. this is a second car. my first one daily one, is on order to replcade my old A4 B7 TDI and will be a A4 AVANT B8 TDI... so I am a 100% AUDI guy...

    The RS5 will be a killer, for sure. Very similar specs to the GTR actually. Except 2 more cylinders

    Way to go

    The GTR is for sure a great car, BUT it is not an Audi

    Which B7 have you got and what are you aming for in the B8 (engine wise)?

    I don't bother with write-ups on these boards, the brand zealotry runs too deep, particularly with the German marquees.

    lol, I think that's a little harsh. BTW, I don't think the RS5 is going to be worth it, how much money for what kind of HP? Ya.
