Yeah they're very different. But both are sport car interiors, and I don't like the CS 'slightly' better than R8 V12, but 'a lot'  | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to klier For This Useful Post: | | | Devotee

The CS interior is amazing but its styling is more evocative of luxury and elegance than the Audi.
Both BMW and Mercedes have become focused on artistic and expressive styling.
Audi is less overtly expressive ....which is in-keeping with its more traditional German character. It imparts a powerful aesthetic of functionality and rationality.

Jeebus!!! Between the knockout body, sleek interior and the most beautiful engine bay I've ever seen, this makes the Gallardo look like crap. With a winning Powerball ticket, I think I would snatch this car up above anything else currently on the market (ok, except the Zonda). | | | | | Fanatic

As the title suggest there’s bad news from Ingolstadt. But it’s not all bad for Audi. Because the Audi R8 is so popular, with 4125 cars built in 2007 and another 5000 planned for 2008, the Audi engineers decided to postpone the production of a spider and diesel version. Production manager Michael Dick told us even more disappointing news: the Audi R8 V12 TDI will stay a concept car!
Due to the positive respondses to the R8 V12 TDI Le Mans concept Audi decided to take a powerful diesel into production. This diesel won’t have the 6.0 V12 found in the Le Mans concept but a 4.2 liter V8 TDI. Due to the smaller engine the power sinks from 500 bhp to 326 bhp. - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER | | | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | |
