Just like a lambo gallardo with an audi badge.. a waste IMHO, lambo without the crazyness is just an ordinary fast car.
ppl buy the lambo because of the badge, the design and the styling and most of all.. the name. With lambo being their sister company, Audi's attempt to make their own supercar so far looks pretty.........pointless. Dont get me wrong, the R8 is very well built, with excellent handling and what not, its just that the existance of R8 makes no sense. The current R8 with the V8 engine is way over priced, if you are after its amazing V8 engine, get a RS4, its more practical too. If you are after the performance, get a M6, its much much faster at higher speed. Both in autobahn territory or track performance.

Whats wrong with a V8? Some of the fastest production cars in the world use a V8.. Think Koenigsegg and Saleen S7.

Aren't those both supercharged? Maybe Audi wanted to stay away from forced induction.
