seems it say 528 bhp. which means 552 hp. exactly like the LP 560.

with the revised r-tronic (e-gear) it'll also have launch control capable of ejecting that thing like a spermatozoid. this is going to be epic- 997.2 TT vs R8 V10. thankfully it will be offered in manual.

i am predicting 0-60 in 3.7 with mag tests (true manual) and 1/4 mile in 12.0 seconds (M6 12.6 in R&T 2007) at over 110 mph. this car will truly do damage to the GTR and be right in line with the NSX and LF-A. i suspect it'll come in at only 15K over the V8 in the US. by 2011 MY the V8 would be about 118K making this car cost about 133K- right in line with the 997.2 TT. at this rate the GTR itself will be pushing 100K (given the recent 5K MSRP hike) making this R8 a bargain. what a freaking killer car. and that rear is going to be insane in person. can't wait.
