is the engine the same as the one use in the LP560-4? If so, just wondering why it's down on power as i'm sure the LP560-4 produces around the 560bhp mark?
looks nice though, not sure about the price tag mind you, seems a little steep for an Audi - rather splash out on a 2nd hand Lambo.

Also, out of interest, I wonder how much supercharging the exising V8 lump would be. How much extra cost it would be to get the V8 to a similar power and delivery....
£40k's worth??
MTM do a conversion, around the £34k (£112k inc price on new R8) mark which increases the V8 to 560bhp, 3.9sec to 62 and 124mph in 12.5secs.
Marginally cheaper and a little quicker than the V10, but sounds soooo much better MTM R8 (Youtube)

People in here seem to be missing a couple of points.
If you are just about to spend 100K+ on a car I doubt you'll be giving two hoots about any credit crunch.
They'll still all sell whether you can go and buy a second hand whatever else or not.
People complain about making corsas faster when you can go and buy something better but it's ok to go and do it with the R8
