  2. Constantine Joseph If you bought the Huracan, you'd be buying Audi Know How in a different jacket its choice that suits personality. The R8 V10 is good value against the poorly built California with its inferior power and drivetrain, inferior performance, hugely disappointing interior and an equally huge price premium. I don't understand your logic. In London Ferraris are not exclusive anymore. I was on one of the capitols streets a few weeks ago when an old version R8 V10+ in Black came down. It caused grid lock with people trying to get a pic or better look. That says it all really, the R8 Has earned its supercar credibility and can back it up on the road against the so called elite.

  3. Sorry I simply don't understand your point. I very recently visited an Audi Dealer show room because I am looking at buying mid sized exec saloon or Avant possibly the new A4 or 3 series, any way they had the new R8 in the show room right next to the previous model although this was a convertible. The differences between old and new are extensive and substantial to all aspects of the car. All the journo's have been saying the old R8 was starting to show its age, although it was a masterpiece of its time, the new one eclipses it in all ways. Lets face it, Audi couldn't please all of the people all of the time with this new R8 but I can tell you straight up, seeing one in the flesh and sitting in it, blew me away. It looked more purposeful and menacing but at the same time had an approachable character that made you want to look at it from every angle and what was apparent from first contact with the car, is how well screwed together it is, looking under the engine cover and closely at the interior and panel fit and finish, it really is beautifully put toegther. The brief for Audi for the new R8 was that the car needed to be sufficiently different from the outgoing model but at the same time build on its heritage. For me it has achieved this in spades and more importantly, every test review I have read say the same thing, it is a car with stunning performance which is accessible to the everyday driver but also challlenges the experts on both road and track and represents a signifcant performance evolution over the old car. I get it if you don't like Audi's but really this car cannot be denied that it is up there with the very best hyper performance cars of its generation. Also less importantly but worth mentioning is that its comparatively brilliant value for money.

  4. Middleastbeast The other way around I think. Lets face it, Lamborghini as a brand would have long since been consigned to history had it not been for the VAG group and Audi's engineering intervention. AS a result Lambo's now generally go as well as they look, they are generally reliable and have better fit and finish; thanks to Audi. If someone wants to pay the huge price hike for a different suit then that's their choice, I like what the R8 offers me, a daily driver that can better most any other supercar.

  6. Can Tavukçuoğlu  In some ways I agree, it is of course testament to the integrity of the original design that people still see it as contemporary and fresh. I do like the new design although it does take time to bed in to ones consciousness. I suspect it will with you too. I would be happy and proud to own either of the iterations. What a car though! Just about perfect.
