Re: What do you think of the R8? - 11-04-2007, 05:57 AM

Weel, this technically a fabulous car, Audi managed to create a really really serious spotscar, among the best of the category at the first attempt.

But it does not appeal to me that much. The design is strange, too long, and too Audi. It will age I think, the front really begins to imo.

And the RS4 motor is not like a flat six, emotionwise. Let's see with the V10...

So, even if this is a fabulous car, really, I would take a 911. Because it is something more. It is a classic, it is a myth, it is beautiful, the motor is a masterpiece. It is a 911. Everytime I see one, I think to myself "this is perfect. This is THE car...". It is not the case with others sports cars. Even Gallardo or Ferrari 430, they are spectacular, yes, but... The 911 is my dream, a Carrera S...

(because, strangely, I don't like the 911 Turbo at all, even designwise, and there is a 911 Turbo Cabriolet 997 often parked near where I work).

So 911 for me...
