Per my latest automobile rag, the Gallardo SL should do 0-60 in 2.9s (!!!), or 0.3s faster than the "regular" Gallardo.

Audi have lost their way when that have.

a V10
A V8,
Supercharged V6
A V10TT.
A v8
A V8TT.
Turbo 4's


The RS6 is the monster. The R8 whilst a good looking car needs to out muscle the Rs6 to have any place on the Audi family tree.

And stop robbing from Lambo.

the RS6 is basically a road going bullet train.

R8 doesn't need much more power than this....but some day don't be surprised if they turbo it.

It will out handle any other audi. It would be nice if the R8 accelerated quicker, but it seems clear that Audi was careful to make it slower than the Gallardo.

Also, you mentioned Audi stealing from Lambo, but I don't know that I agree that that is technically accurate. What i would say is more accurate is that Audi designed the Gallardo for Lambo and then wanted to reuse the same chassis with a different engine for their own purposes.

Obviously, it's not quite that cut and dry but it is hard to say that Audi is stealing from Lambo when they Gallardo is an Audi chassis that is stylized to look like a Lambo.
