Kevin2772 Report post Posted February 12, 2015 I agree with you and so would anyone with a brain The difference between a new R8 and a new Huracan is about 30K Euro in most parts of Europe, my Spyder costs more than a Huracan Coupe. So the 100K number is wrong on the other side of the pond. But it doesn't matter, since the R8 is still the better allround car for the money, regardless what lameass R8 haters say I dont even know why i bother....but here goes..... I dont hate the R8. I actually am quite fond of the looks and think all around it is a fantastic car. I just think it falls into a sort of gap of the type of car it is and where it should be. Its too muted. Not enough excitement. It happens.... Anyone with a brain would be able to understand that perspective...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For real though the R8 lacks any goddamn soul, lacks any inspiration, and does not compare to the Lamborghini sibling. The Lambo is the hot older sister that everyone wants, the the Audi is the chubbier sister that people settle for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortis Report post Posted February 12, 2015 As a DD Audi always rules for me, they build some insane sleepers the thing I like the most is that they are understated, a RS6 Avant in the eyes of a non car person is standing out less than a new C Class and I love that!

TRANSAMERA Report post Posted February 16, 2015 Hurrican't underneath, just as ugly body on top The facelifted R8 V10 (and probably/hopefully the new one) isn't ugly I was just hoping for something brand new, this looks to much like the current model..

That means you don't have to buy the latest model thus saving you money. Oh who am I kidding, you will buy it anyway and add it to the list of 3million R8s you have owned.

Leadfoot Report post Posted February 17, 2015 It's funny, although the R8 V10 Spyder wasn't the most exciting car to drive that I've owned--it amazes me out of my friends/acquaintances how many people still comment it was their favorite of all the cars I've owned. Don't know what exactly it is, but that car's design really spoke to a lot of "non-car" people. I have to admit, looking at pics of it now, it wasn't bad looking! And it really woke up with the custom exhaust...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NRG x Lambo Report post Posted February 26, 2015 Supposed leak: it doesn't work for me... the R8 was always a very "organic" design. curves, tear drop shapes, and organic headlight shape... i don't mind the new headlight design, but it doesn't work if the body doesn't get a more 'chiseled' or angular treatment like the huracan/aventador.

Fortis Report post Posted February 26, 2015 Supposed leak: That's very neat, I like it. I like Audi's design language, I know many think it's boring, it looks effortless to me, unpretentious. This thing dates the current R8 instantly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
