Audi R8 V10- New, Bad And Pumped Up


The new Audi R8 sports car. It has always been purpose built as a everyday, user-friendly supercar. The R8 V10 was originally supposed to be fitted with the same 5 liter twin turbo 572hp engine as the RS6 estate. However, one prototype overheated and exploded at the 'Ring. It was not meant to be. So Audi opted for an all new 5 liter naturally aspirated V10. It produces 500 horsepowers. It may not be as fast as the Gallardo 560-4 but it was never supposed to be compared. The Gallardo also is 50 thousand pounds more expensive. I've always been a fan. Ever since I first laid my eyes on the LeMans Quattro concept in NFS Carbon. The new R8 would eat a Porsche 911 Turbo. It tops out at 200. It's on the tail of the 911 GT2 997. Wonderful all round visibility, comfortable seats, and a very spacious cabin. Practicality, not so much. But that won 't matter to you, because you've got an Audi R8.
