Audi Le Mans R8 |
|
|
Does anyone know what the estimated price range will be for the Audi Le
Mans Quattro R8? I was gonna go after the M6, but after reading a few
articles and seeing a video of the R8, I think I'd rather go with the
R8. (As long as it's not a butt load more expensive.)

You should be able to afford that one. |

And I take it you mean RS4, the cost is £50,000 on the road, the R8 would
prob cost you in excess of 5 million and you may struggle with speed bumps,
and the shopping...

Ronny,
Wasn't there an R8 on eBay a while back, starting bid around U$1M?
Cheers!

What do you guys think?

I think that is a ball park figure, maybe a bit higher. I've been
thinking of trading in my RS6 for the new RS4, but think I'll wait
awhile and see if this puppy really comes in at/about $120K.

Ahhh That's the Audi "Nuvolari" concept car, it was also featured in GT4
(Grand Tourismo 4) it is a bit of a pig to drive :)
I really like it, and it's Audis attempt to break into the big coupé market,
if you can wait, and you can afford an M6 I would say go for it.
Bit out of my league though, so I will crawl back into the A4 rep mobile
market that I belong to :P |

Haha nothing surprises me on eBay Steve, I suppose the R8 is in the same |
class as Ferrari Enzo, and if you had enough money you could buy one :) |

Can you imagine going to work every day in that,

I have loved it since the concept days, and too see one on the road will be
an awesome sight. |

Actually, I was thinking the car would be about $150k. I'm just being
wishful with the $120k. :)
Anyways, this car is just awesome looking. I mean, more awesome
looking than any exotic I've seen. And, even though I have a BMW 645,
I really want an Audi M6-killer (so I kinda want the prices to be the
same.) |

Man, the car looks fantastic and futuristic now, as it did a couple of
years ago. I hope they don't change the looks. |

I thought the "Novolari" was the Audi SUV concept?
I know this is stupid question, but how realistic is GT4? I wouldn't
think the R8 is a pig at all, right?
It's 400lbs lighter than the M6, it's has 100hp more than the M6, and
it has about 170lb-ft more torque than the M6. It's a mid-engine car
with AWD, so it has to handle awesomely, compared to the front mounted
M6, right?

http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/bmw_m6.asp
If the lemans is a pig, then it must be a wild boar and the M6 must
drive like a Panda Bear or a sloth. Does that hold true in the game?
Does the game have an animal option? :) |

Ronny,
True, true, although there _IS_ an Enzo in my local neighbourhood - owned by
Michael Lee-Chin of AIC. I'd have more of a chance seeing that pass by my
house than an R8

The Nuvolari (named after Tazio Nuvolari, Italian Auto Union racing phenom
of the 30's) quattro 2+2 coupe is not the same as the LeMans quattro - which
is a mid-engine 2-seater.
