Audi R8


Yesterday on the way to work I stoppepd at the garage hoping to see this beauty and there it was.
The Audi R8 is a mid-engined sports car released by the German automaker Audi in 2006. Audi announced in 2005 that the name of the successful Audi R8 race car would be used for a new road car in 2007
The Audi R8 is already available with a 4.2 L V8 making 420 hp, as seen in the Audi RS4. Pricing for the 420 bhp model starts from €104,400 or £77,000. The base price in the US is $109,000 for the 6-speed manual. A R-Tronic equipped R8 will price at $118,000. The R8 has a dry weight of 1560 kg (3439 lb). A 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) time of 4.6 seconds is possible with a top speed of 301 km/h (187 mph).
I'm afraid it will never be mine...

Wow. A beautiful automobile. Not for the faint at heart or those with worries about cash, but a nice car anyway.

I am back from my self-imposed vacation.
