New Car Models: 2008 Audi R8


After the long drawn out gestation period Audi first ever mid-engined sports car is finally here. With the multitude of concept car and spy shot info that has been circulating the net for months now, there isn not anything really new to add. Sales of the new car will start in the first half of next year for the both the US and Europe with prices ranging from $80,000 and $110,000.

This will put the Quattro AWD R8 up against the likes of BMW’s M6 and the Porsche 911, this one however is based on the Lamborghini’s Gallardo platform and features a high-revving V8 from the RS4 developing 420hp. The 0-62mph dash will be around 4 seconds with top speed up around 185mph. Transmission options include either Audi’s R tronic sequential-shift gearbox (similar to Lamborghini’s EGear) with a joystick gear-shift on the center console and steering-wheel mounted paddles or a conventional six-speeder.
