....is now AUDI's R8...a brilliant mid-engine sports coupe released towards the end of 2006...
the Audi R8 will be available in mid-2007 with a 4.2 L V8 making 420 hp, as seen in the Audi RS4...an absolute stonker of an engine...
for 2009 a second, a more powerful engine variant that uses a 520-hp 5.2 L V10, an enlarged version of the Lamborghini Gallardo's engine and already seen in the Audi S8, is rumoured but not confirmed by Audi.
Audi is currently in the process of developing a new turbocharged 5.2 L V10 engine for the future Audi RS6, and there is a possibility that this engine will make its way into the R8, dependent on marketing decisions...
i will be eagerly awaiting roadtests of this S-version...momma mia...
see below for 5th Gear's test of the R8 in vivaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa las vegas
