Re: Audi R8 supercar unveiled
Well, I just looked and looked at those pics and tried to like it and I honestly can't...The back looks really cool, as does the interior but the rest of it is just not working for me...While the headlights themselves look pretty aggressive, the front end doesn't look right...I like the vents under the headlights, but the way the grill almost stands up straight looks really weird...If you look at it head on from the front or back it looks pretty mean but then you see a side profile and it looks so wrong. The greenhouse is ridicously far forward and the way the windshield bulges out doesn't flow at all into the front of the car...There is just no continuity to the lines on this car...The back also looks huge compared to the front...It's too bad, I think it could have had alot of potential but as it stands it's a cluster**** of a car.....Audi is gonna' need some serious luck and alot of dumb people with too much money to spend $100k on this mess....But hey, at least it makes the ZO6 and Viper look that much more appealing.

Umm, YUCK! I love Lambo's, and actually kind of like some Audi's , but that thing is, IMO, even uglier than the TT, which is rivaled only by the Lexus SC as the ugliest car I have ever seen above $30K.

It's only OK. I can't get with the big black panel behind the door, it just ruins the whole look for me. LED's to show off the engine at night? Oooooh wooooow, look at those plastic panels.

Re: Audi R8 supercar unveiled
The supercar has an odd formula to it...
If you took a Camaro, relocated the engine to the back, and lowered it two inches, you'd have a supercar.
Most supercars have only 500-600hp. And the reason I say "only" is because I are comparing them to the modern muscle cars.

But yea, if I could afford it, I'd definately consider it. Better?
