Took this beauty for a spin today (not a porsche tho)
 
Took this beauty for a spin today with my girlfriend, damn what a beast.

2011 Audi R8 v10, 525 brutal horsepower. Damn it was nice!
Just thought I'd brag a little :cheers:

I drove one not long ago and was honestly bored of it. It felt bloated and didn't have the power it needed to pull its weight around. Also didn't feel as agile as our cars.

Did you drive the v10 as well? I've driven the LP560 and the Sl55 Amg, and this one is just as good in my opinion to be honest.

V10 is the way to go.

V8 kinda pricey for the performance.

I don't know but there's something really bland about all the Audis imho.
It's like the not very creative side of the classroom in Germany all got together and engineered expensive cars.
The creative side of the classroom all went to work for Porsche and BMW.
Well except for the guy who designed the TT back in 1998.

Holman, if your second-half's facial expression is 100% genuine, then I think she'd really, really, like one for xmas mate. In white colour.

How much is one of those V10 in the EU?

Nine8Six 04-24-2014 08:21 AM

answered my own question but would still be interested to know how much those retails in Scandinavia. Just curious

knew the R8 was supercar famed but never realized how cheap those were until today. Not sure if I am reading this correct but looks like you can get a V10 for less than £80k??? Am I dreaming or this is reality?

Always liked the R8's. Wish I had a larger garage.

This one is for sale for 995.000 SEK (about 152.000 USD)
It's a 2011 with 13.500 KM on the clock.

And about her smile, it's her dream car. So when I heard my father got this into storage, I had to barrow it for a while. She's been spamming me for years. But I've always managed to miss or been bussy when the other r8's has came into storage.

Visually, it is a bit bland. And I have driven the LP560 before on Autocross and so I expect the performance to be similarly awesome!
