Not a huge fan of the wheels, but should be a monster:

VW Group is finally achieving synergies between Audi and Lamborghini.

At the Detroit Motor Show next month, Audi will debut the R8 V10, the fastest production R8 yet. The R8 V10 will come with a 5.2 liter V10 engine producing 528 hp, the same as in the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4. This power plant has also previously appeared in the R8 LMS GT3 racer.

Unique to the R8 V10 are the LED headlights for the main and dipped beams, a first, and daytime running lights. A new rear diffuser creating more down force is also special to this model and twin oval tailpipes tag the rear of the V10, as opposed to the quad chrome exhaust of the V8 version.

The V10 also features magnetic ride dampers and comes with a choice of a six-speed manual or an R tronic semi-automatic gearbox.

The numbers: 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds and a top speed of 196 mph or 315 km/h.

On the inside you get a Bang and Olufsen system, which, for the average reader, costs about as much as your current car is worth. There's a Nappa leather finish too.

The R8 V10 will cost [big]121,800 pounds[/big] in the UK (140,800 euros).

£121k for an Audi 2 seater....



No thanks

And the stats don't justify the price tag in todays supercar loaded world.

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??

The PPI version of the R8 has the looks down much better than the standard trim.

R8s are no longer special in my eyes.

Too common, and too audi. I'd rather spend the money on a Lambo.

Horrible wheels on that V10 one too.
