Cool find, thanks. Even though I lived in Northern New Mexico for 20 years my spanish sucks. Wish it had subtitles.

It does! Hit the "cc" button for closed captioning.

D'oh !!:confused0068:

Made my naughty bits tingle.
 

Ok, so it's not an FR-S. But some things I just have to share when I see them. This seems like the right place to post, but if not I hope the mods let me know.

Here's a short promo vid of the Audi R8 v10 on a dyno.

Sounds like you're Mr. James May himself!

2014 Audi R8[Video]
 

Cool video and the sound is amazing :drool:

[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0_GCuim9kY"]2014 Audi R8 V10 Plus Commercial - AMAZING engine sound! HD - YouTube[/ame]

I got to drive a V8 R8 w/ 6-spd a few times in anger back a few years ago--I loved it...

Probably the best handling stock car (on stock tires) I've ever driven. It was unflappable. The car's owner ham-fisted it a few times when I was instructing him, but the car just shrugged it off.

Ahhhh, I love the V10+ commercial. Definitely my favorite Lamborghini.

Gotta love the blue flames!

:burnrubber:

Audi R8 thoughts?
 

I have wanted one of these since they came out. I have more recently been considering picking one up in the somewhat near future. I plan to pay off the WRX and after graduating from law school, looking into getting one. So, I was wondering if anyone on here owns or has owned one, and if so what are your thoughts on it? Still not sure which model I'd go with (v8 or v10 "plus").

I just love the sound, style, and performance combination. It's also something I feel still looks professional, which is important to me. Any input is appreciated. Flaming is expected as well.

V10
Depends on your budget. If I had the money to buy a R8, I would think I had the money to own the v10. I would also hang out with other supercar friends and having less hp and cylinders makes me less feel less super.

If I was ballin' on a budget I would consider the other alternatives, Porsche, Vette's, etc

Yeah go V10 or go home

v8 vs v10
1585kg vs 1720kg aka 300ish lbs
100hp difference.
0-100km/ph 4.2 vs 3.9
If I hung out with the super car crowd or did lapping events with them, the v10 fits, and you can say it's a mini-lambo.
If I didn't, the v8 is more than enough, saves some money so you can afford to drive it more often. Tires aren't cheap.
