Now a few months has passed since the R8 was unveiled to the world. Shock and owe, Audi finally released a proper mid-engined sports car to compete with the 911s. While previously Audi was notorious for its FWD cars, numb steering and ungainly weight distributions, the R8 suddenly and quite spectacularly deconstructed notions of Audi's incapability to build a sports car. Undoubtedly, in the few months following its release, the R8 has garnered award after every award, winning comparisons like it's an everyday occurrence. It has even, at times, beaten its own step-sister, the Gallardo, and even the 911 Carrera S.

It's now appropriate for you to state in this thread, what you think of the R8, Audi's first modern supercar and arguably its biggest achievement to date.

Say anything you want about it - design, performance, interior, whatever - I want to know what you think.
