Never mind the very act of building such a car, it was a bold move on Audi’s part just to name its production sports car, based very closely on the 2003 Le Mans concept, with the legendary alphanumeric title “R8”. That moniker was born and burned into the minds of motorsport aficionados by the company’s now-retired R8 racecar - a car that took a stunning 65 victories out of 80 starts during its seven-year competition history. During that time, the racecar never failed to finish a race and it earned the common title of ‘most successful endurance racecar of all time.’

You looking for one in particular?

I'll ask about the silver CF trim. The one at Detroit was the first one like that I'd seen.

If there are others, let me know and I'll try to get them uploaded.

If I was a wealthy man, this car would definitely go in my stable sans clunky flappy paddle.

JJ, you amaze me!!

Thanks Pete.

I still have Audi lust....

I think he shocked a few of us

In the article, you mention that Parktronic is also available on the A8, A6, and Q7. While a small error, Parktronic is also available on the A4 nonetheless.

R8's for everyone!

I meant the camera. I'll have to reread that. Thanks.

I wonder how many R-tronic tranny's will be ordered vs. manuals. I am surprised VAG hasn't developed a high-powered version of DSG for the high-end/high-powered cars considering how much praise it has been getting from the press.

And finally ... on the same subject ... to all of those who put together the R8 first drive video ... Well done ... and ... Thank You!

That'd be JJ Larson. He outdid himself.

Only 20 posts so far?!?! Geez, you'd think the R8 could generate a little more enthusiasm, especially on a VAG fansite. I wonder how many R-tronic tranny's will be ordered vs. manuals.

We have a like thread in TheCarLounge found here....

given the larger number of people reading that forum over the R8 forum, many of the posts have been made in there. That's kept this thread a bit shorter, and this forum is more for the hardcore R8 guys anyway.

man though pics make me so happy. Vegas is soo awesome that last pic infront of the Paris is sick! Only 1 month till I go back to get my fix!!!

can't wait to see this car in the flesh eventually.

there were microphones placed on the car to get the accurate sound of the exhaust.

The footage is a mix of stuff we shot and B-roll from Audi AG. All of the helicopter shots are Audi B-roll. The engine recordings are all from our filming.

Yes, the engine recordings were from other footage where we used their B-roll. The reason why we have no wind noise is because we had a microphone mounted underneath the rear decklid window.
