2016 Audi R8

[R5]

Get rid of those nutri-bullet esque wheels.

Renderer's choice. My guess is all current wheels will be available with maybe a few new ones.

It looks phenomenal! Granted if it turned out to look similar to the renders

Styling looks like I thought it would: more evolution than complete revolution, with a bit more aggressive stance.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Looks like a TT mk3 on steroids.

 

[GTboyz]

Doesn't look to revolutionary, just like another facelift.

I don't believe that is real for a few reasons. First something just looks odd about it. Second why is it in a repair shop, that doesn't look like an Audi facility where they have a car like that? And third the person who posted the pic on instagram said he had more pics of it but now delete his account.

It looks a match to me:

I know, it looks just like spy pics of it.........

There just something that seems off about it.

 

[R5]

Headlights? They don't seem like the Audi corporate face headlights (I.e like a TT's)

They still follow the same design theme of simple polygons.

I'm not seeing It.

Could be because of the lighting but yeah.

I wonder how the marketing department at Audi feels about the first undisguised picture of their new halo car shows it in a messy, poorly lit workshop on a lift with no wheels, a big rag on it's roof, and a cable sprouting from it's apparently ill-fitting front compartment lid, all shot with a camera about as sophisticated as a motorola razr.

Perhaps they want us to think that's what the new R8 will look like, then BAM! Completely different design, just to surprise us.

I don't like the sharp edges. It looks like a crappy aftermarket bodykit glued on the front.

This could explain a lot I guess.

 

[FoRiZon]

Looks like a TT mk3 on steroids.

Comparison to the old TT is like the Knuckles in Sonic the Hedgehog comparison. You know what im saying

 

[Jase01]

Does not look to special.

Yeah I agree..

The wheels seem like the ones from the Audi TT 420 concept...

yeah... not digging the vertical slats on the brake intake.....

 

[phillgt2002]

It just looks inelegant compared to the the older R8s. They're following that Lexus razorblade type design which I do not like.

I could honestly not give two cents for anything that comes out of Lexus' mouth or factories, and now looking at it like that has sorta killed a little light in me, because I know it's true.

How? It doesn't even look close.

I fail to see how its follow the design.

Lexus generally has had more of a vertical intake, whilst Audi has kept a horizontal intake up until know... Just Google Audi and Lexus side-to-side and you will see.

 

[RACECAR]

Are you guys reffering to the actual grill mesh itself?

 

[phillgt2002]

I somewhat am. I dont like the chunky approach some manufacturers are taking.

I wonder if Snoop Dogg wants to buy one of those.
