1000 m 22.2 s @ 150 kph???????
I think over 250kph, is more the truth.

Im so excited! I wonder if they will change its looks (not that they need to). Also im suprised Lamborghini has been OK with Audi making the R8 as good (or maybe better with the addition of DCT) as the Gallardo which it is based off of. I guess Audi has a lot more leverage...

Car magazine reports that the R8 facelift to be presented at Geneva next year will sport the 4.2L V8 tuned to RS5 level (450PS) and the 5.2L V10 tuned to Gallardo LP560-4 matching 560PS...

That leaves the question, if this is true, when are they going to use the new 4.0L V8? For the next gen that's coming in 2016?

I have the V10 Spyder sitting outside as we speak..... another 4 days to play with it before it goes back to Audi.

Initial impressions are: blisteringly quick once moving, rubbish auto gearbox, more understeer than I expected, great sound and a real head turner (or maybe thats because I'm driving with the roof down in freezing weather?).....

This is an awesome car. Looks and sounds wicked in real life.

It's really something like a bargain Lamborghini Gallardo

I will be testing the R8 V10 Spyder for 5 days at the end of January, a full review will follow.....

I doubt a R8 will ever come close to making a Zonda look like anything but a Zonda.

It might have the performance.. but the R8 is one of the most ugly cars out there in my opinion. Semi-trucks have better looking front ends. Such a nice interior wrapped in such a ugly shell...

Whats with all the car makers going with these unpainted front ends anyway? Big chunks of unpainted black looks cheap and unfinished.

you just what until the r8 gt it will have 560 hp,0-60 3.5 seconds this thing will make a zonda look like a prius

Check out Racing Rivals section. All cars with specified 0-100, 0-200 and 1/4 times will have what I call "context boxes" showing their performance relative to closes rivals.

R8 V8 got pawned BADDDD by Carrera 2 S PDK ..it's a race on m5board..and PDK TUrbo is way faster than Carrera PDK..is that really that big difference between R8 V8 and V10? i want to see a dragrace between them..

"0-300 kmh"

"29,9 sec with r-tronic"

bullshit , never.....maybe something wuth 40 sec , the 29.9 sec is too fast for the R8.0-300 about the same as the 599?lol...

Expensive yes, overated definetly not, and where did you get 200k from? even with all the most expensive options your not going over 176k, and why would you compare a bike to a car, to totally different vehicles, Turbo and Carrea S, Or R8 V8 and R8 V10...Yeah,..i think ill go with the 8's..
2 years ago
@golf3diesel: at the TopGear comparison the R8 v10 and 997 turbo mk2 were almost identical in performance and in the hands of the Stig. A carrera wouldn't even stay close..
2 years ago
expensive overrated crap..i know it's a good car,comfortable,fast etc but too expensive for what it can...it may be stupid to compare but why spending 200k for R8 V10 with optionals if you can spend 3k and get a 600cc sportbike capable of 10-11 seconds to 200 kmh...
i think i would buy a Porsche instead of this if i had that much money........the 380 hp PDK Carrera humuliated the R8 V8,and the PDK Turbo was faster than R8V10..m5board races...

One of my favorite Sportscars. Not only is it fast, it is a great ride on (almost) all roads as well. I was really surprised at how comfortable this is. Properly great car this one. Too bad I can't afford one. But you can rent them for a day or two and have a little fun on the Autobahn. (Don't say you rent them for that though. :D) Oh and the Ring offers a half-day trackticket where you get to drive an R8 (dunno if it's the V10) with a professional tutor and insurance and the car is set up for the ring. How cool is that?

Some people say this will do the Ring in 7:30-40. I think this is possible.
