After reading this report along with all the other reviews, they all confirm what I was thinking: The R8 is quite simply the best Audi ever and in turns it means that Audi did a fantastic job with their first proper supercar.

Thank you very much for your report Julius. You lucky bugger!

I can easily guess it was a great experience Julious! I am jealous...

Your photos will be published at a car magazine?

Thanks for sharing your once in a lifetime experience!

I'm starting to think I really have an obsession with this Audi's interior. It
looks so quaint and of such high quality and seemingly fits like an old familiar glove. I'll have to schedule a trip to the Audi dealer and see if they'll at least let me sit in one.

Probably a great and indescribable situation ...
Pity that could not drive by that I could understand.
But even then already was a great achievement.

Congratulations

Man, you're so lucky Julius! I'll only see my first R8 at the end of this month, and I don't know if we'll even be able to test drive it.

Well, did the V8 sound soft or muted? That's my only concern I think.

I am lucky but not so lucky that I can actually buy one ...

Well grats to you! The R8 looks great dosn't it ??
- First time I saw the car IRL I was so stunned I was shaking for 5-6 minutes.. maybe because I also new that in 10 minutes I was co-pilot'ing along while the rest of the town where watching jealous in their cars..

the sound is great.. nothing like a V10 or V12 but while sitting inside the car in a tunnel and listen.. its just so great!

It's not muted I think.. but maybe the sound feels soft because the car looks like it should be shouting more about beeing Audi's supercar!

If I am lucky again.. I will have a ride when the R8 V10 comes out!


Thanks Mr. M

I saw my 1st R8 IRL last week and the 1st thing I said after the initial rush of excitment was "F*ck, look at the new R8!" to my friend next to me, who said the exact same thing at the exact same time. The R8 looks even better out on the road than in motor shows.

The V8 does sound great, I could hear it from my bus, and the bus engine is dam noisy.

I am so jealous of you right now, I really want to sit inside one for a ride.

Haha.. that's just F*great!

I hope you one day will have the chance to have a ride in it!
you are sitting so low that trying to sit in a normal 911 Carrera feels like a normal estate.

R8 .. new photo I haven't shared with you guys:
