Hey fellas,
Recently Audi launched their latest sports car the R8, and God it's beautiful. It vividly shows that Audi is outdoing BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
Here is some information about it:
Maker: Audi
Model: R8
Type: 2-door, 2-seater rear-engined sports coupe
Engine: Supercharged 4.2 Litre V8
Maximum Power: 420 Horsepower
0-100 KM/H acceleration time: 4.6 secs
0-200 KM/H acceelration time: 14.9 secs
Top Track Speed: 300 KM/H (187 M/H)
Main Competitors: Porsche 911 Carrera 4, Mercedes-Benz SL55 AMG, Jaguar XK-R, Aston Martin V8 Vantage, Lamborghini Gallardo
Drivetrain: Quattro All-Wheel Drive
Base Price: in US ($110,000)
in UK ($150,000)
The cool thing about this car is that a substantially significant part of its body is made of Carbon Fiber in order to eliminate weight and make it as light as possible.
It's not categorized as a supercar but there will be upcoming V10 and V12 (with 10 and 12 cylinder engines) version that'd raise the price tag, power, and top speed to supercars territory
I personally like its design the most, sepcially those small light dots in the front light perimeter (see last 2 pics).
It hasn't been officially launched yet in the Middle East, however, a wealthy Iraqi has been spotted driving one in Amman, Jordan. He has reportedly bought it from a Qatari tourist who privately imported it from Europe. Alongwith taxes, it costed our Iraqi friend 150,000 JDs (US $210,000)![rolleyes.gif](http://4.<a href="http://www.forumer.com">forumer</a>.com/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif)
(I'm sure of this, you can count on it)
