2009 Audi R8 V10 5.2 FSI

The 0-160 time is good...

Im very surprised this doesnt beat the ZO6 round Anglessy, nor The Ring, what does that say for it?

I very much agree with you on that!

This is not my favorte car ever, but it is my favorte audi.

We shoul put that 44.6 time back up there for the 0-300Kmh time that i think either Ab or Sa did.

example

the 11.8s 0-200km/h was done by Autozeitung 25/09, I have the magazine at hand but I have no time to scan it for you.

Scan?

different car magazine tests...

Where did those stats come from?

Where did thise performance figures come from?

So? Im from Italy, and when i think of V10 i Always think of the Viper, than the M5 and M6, but its tru that no Dodge will turn heads like a Carrera GT. And when i think of V8's, i always think of Big V8's, Muscle Cars.

I don't like the look of the front of the R8, the lights and the grills below the lights don't look quite right. The overall shape is good though and from the back it's simply stunning - very smart and sporty without being OTT like most supercars.

The GT sounds like an F1 car and the rest just sound like a Ford Mustang, besides the Carrera GT would get more looks any day than some dodge.

It depends in what part of the world you were born. In US the people are more likely to link the V10 with the Viper. I am European and when I think of a V10 engine I instantly connect it with the Gallardo and the CGT... and now with the R8 too

Yeah when people think of a V10, they dont think of F1 cars, they think of the Viper, and cmon, les be real, the Viper was the First TRUE roadcar with a V10, im not saying all are bad, just no car has had such an impact on the V10 engine like the viper. the M5/M6 5.0L V10 is getting quite a rep though.

That May be true, but NO V10 is as Iconic as the Viper V10.

thinking of V10 the first that poped up are F1 cars which used V10 engines long befor the first Viper in 1992..
The hornor to reborn V10 engines in 1986 goes to Alfa Romeo who created the first V10 F1 engine...a idea later picked up by Renault and Honda and was the winning layout from 1989... there was even a US sourced V10 befor the Viper... Judd produced V10 engines for customers...Peugeot used V10 engines in the 1990 World Sportcar championship... there were many V10 engines to remember befor the first Viper hit the road..

Why would you think of a CGT when you think of a V10? it should be the Viper.

Every time i think of a V10 i think of the Porsche Carrera GT because of that awesome sound and i do not think any other V10 can compare.

why such a slow tsukuba lap time?

top speed on the autobahn 320km/h(198.75 mph)

very practical, reliable, fast, efficient car. BRAVO to audi.

Thank you, That time is removed, No lower, than 37s is my guess on the 0-300kmh time.

yeah i agree with all ur coments as much of a great car the R8 V10 is i dont belive it will reach 300kmph in 30secs it just doesnt have enough power or torque to even reach those speeds that quickly.
