Wow, what a noise.

[LDadrenaline]

if it is a real audi, it wont be called the R8. R8 has already been taken. Also I thought that when they tested out real cars they had the track privately. There were other cars out there

I'm gonna call Bull****.

The Gallardo is already so Audi its got audi badging and labeling on the interior (head unit and console stuff is right out of the Audi parts dept). That car is running Gallardo wheels...

New Lambo... don't doubt it for a second... official Audi badging? Ha!

I never thought about that.. It's true, the inside of Gallardo's are pretty much a mix of audi parts..

No, guys, it's a legit car, and it is an Audi. It's basically the production verson of the Audi Le Mans concept in 03. http://www.fast-autos.net/vehicles/Audi/2003/Le_Mans_Quattro_Concept/

Looks like a lot of the concept carried over to the production car.

As far as competition goes with the Gallardo, it'll be available with either a de-tuned version of the V10, making ~450 HP, so it won't compete directly with it, or the 4.2 V8 from the RS4 making 420 HP. Supposed to be ~$115k

This has a lot more detail about the car:

Oh, and LD, the name "R8" isn't taken by any road-going car, so it doesn't matter if their race car is called the R8 too.
