    my feelings exactly. mainly because i am an audi purist come hell or high water. rather than eliminate awd try a little harder and give me a more advanced awd system that makes the car faster rather than going the route anyone else can take- lambo, ferrari, porsche. i mean c'mon audi- look at the GTR, is IT making any excuses for its awd?

    i'd rather audi fess up the complete 556 hp and leave it awd. it'll be faster around the ring than any lambo or ferrari or porsche yet maintain the versatile magic that makes the r8 an

    print this one out and post it on the front door of you know where Qisha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    With regards to where people work and not, I think we all should consider that some people may not what to discuss this for various reasons.

    If members want to disclose this it's fine of course, but let's not out people.

    So please discuss the topic :cool2:

    On the market soon...

    This could be what they're using in order to get homologation for GT2 qualification (the R8 LMS has been doing very well in GT3 this year). That would lend some credibility to the RWD theory as Lamborghini have already developed the chassis for the LP550-2. Just a thought.

    Quite right. Digging and poking to find where someone works will only drive them undergroung and the info will dry up.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    hopefully price would also drop.

    3 BIG questions:

    will it have a true manual option

    how much will it cost relative to the regular V10

    will it have more power or the same
