2016 Audi R8

[GTboyz]

The previous R8 GT3 looks great. This one looked like it was armored lol

It'd help protect against all the Ferrari GT drivers, I guess...

But the R8 GT3 isn't an LMP1 car...

fair point

 

[Grandea GTR]

Oooooh.

 

[Bo]

I just know they're going to blitz it, like they blitzed VLN2.

 

[Omnis]

It looks like a car constructed entirely out of gurney flaps.

 

[Swagger897]

How 'bout that pink wild pig..

 

[CodeRedR51]

I think I saw one of these today, was hard to tell since it looks so much like the last version.

I like how the V10+ uses the engine from the Huracan. I sort of predicted this kind of design after seeing the new TT.

???

How could a car that has been out for, what, two years almost, use the engine from a car that is less than a year old??

The V10 has been the same from '08, but just re-engineered every new edition.

I'm even more confused by your confusion. I think what you're trying to say is that it's the other way around, the Huracan uses the R8 plus engine. And the newest R8 plus is just using what it has since 2012 with some slight updates. Both of which use the Gallardo power plant either way, which is still at the end of the day a Audi/Lambo V10.

But I think I get what you're saying now.

yeah... I just couldn't remember the exact date of the engine manufacturing process...

Ah you were close enough I just wanted to make sure I clearly understood you when reading along. Anyways you did make a good point R8 + then Huracan

Yeah, I was quite confused... Audi makes some of the best engines in the world, the V10 being the one great one borrowed from Lambo... but made better from the Germans..

I almost thought Post #185 was a Photo Mode picture from Gran Turismo 6. Anyhow, "me likey" on that motorsport-spec R8 road car. I like this meaner R8 though I usually have a preference for elegance. When I keep thinking of the R8, I still think about the Audi R8 LMP that dominated most of the first half of the 2000s in sportscar racing. That's why I keep referencing "road car" in regards to this R8. It is still a solid car.

Oh, what I meant to say was that the new 2016 Audi R8 V10 Plus shares the 5.2 liter V10 engine with the Huracan, along with the platform, and the dual clutch transmission. I wasn't talking about the old one.

Audi R8 V10+ on the Nurb

 

[catamount39]

I approve. 👍 👍

 

[Maldoxx]

Still the same look.

 

[JohnBM01]

I saw MotorWeek earlier today with the newer Audi R8 featured. I think the version the show highlighted most on was the Audi R8 V10+. This R8 isn't as elegant as the previous model, but it is still every bit as desirable as the previous model. Fabulous car. Still is.


[EXTRA NOTES] I learned the V10 Plus stickers for about $177K USD. It really does seem like you can get a very solid exotic without paying exotic car coin with the R8 or any of its variants.

Still no price?

[Swagger897]

ughh.... still don't really like it that much..

 

[Grandea GTR]

To be honest, the design sure is growing on me.

 

[AudiMan2011]

A TT V6 is being considered to replace the V8 and get around Chinese tax rules for engines of 3 litres and above.

That sucks. -_- The V8 in the R8 is epic.

No, what sucks is that China let something like this get way too far out of hand, and they are now scrapping whatever idea it is they manage to create to help the smog problem.

Honestly, I'd put a diesel option in there just cuz..

That's the one with the V10 from the R10 right?
