2016 Audi R8 Teaser Officially revealed at Geneva Auto Show in March

Buying a luxury car for a lot is only stupid if you can't comfortably afford it but, if you're financially secured and you make more than enough to afford a car you desire, than why not.
 
I think the r8 is a great car to buy used since I'm sure there are a lot of "garage queen" type examples where folks with the means buy one new but don't have the time to drive it, so its preserved in a garage for years and barely racking up mileage. That's the opportunity to buy this car.

Cars like Nissan Z, STI, EVO, Mustangs, camaros, etc. are much harder to buy used because they're very attainable performance cars, so their original buyers tend to drive them hard and often, making them more worn out, so to speak
 
Nonsense. You worked hard, you built up 100k disposable income, enjoy yourself man. Old, new, whatever. The pocket watchers crying "balling on a budget" aren't even on your level. Everyone has their own lane, I don't see why dudes constantly get talked about like that because they aren't millionaires by again, folks who are far from it.

Awww, not confirmed: http://www.carscoops.com/2015/02/first-official-photo-of-2016-audi-r8.html

We’ve come across this photo which appears to show the all-new Audi R8, scheduled to debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week.

We don’t know if it’s the real thing or not, but it’s definitely how we imagine Audi’s conservative designers would draw it.

Though it does look close to the leaked pic but it might still be a doctored image.

What's the MSRP on this. Isn't it only about $120k?

There's one by a dealership around me for $115k but it says it's a 2011 model......:smh:
 
2011 model? What's the mileage like? Might be their tester or even managers car?
 
Looks like that leaked pic is the new R8.


Based around an all-new Audi Space Frame chassis, the new R8 is constructed of a higher proportion of aluminum and carbon fiber than its predecessor. The result is a frame that weighs 15 percent less at just 441 pounds – yet is 40 percent more torsionally rigid - tipping the scales at 3,205 lbs in top spec.

Into the middle of that frame Audi has installed a revised version of its 5.2-liter V10, eschewing turbochargers but incorporating new technologies. While other powertrain options are expected to follow, Ingolstadt has gone straight for the top of the range at launch: the 'base' V10 model kicks out 540 horsepower and 398 pound-feet of torque to reach 62 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and a top speed of 201 mph. The upgraded V10 Plus, however, turns those figures up to 610 hp and 413 lb-ft to reach 62 in just 3.2 seconds, 124 in under ten and a 205-mph top speed. All the while, Audi has also equipped the new ten-cylinder engine with both direct and indirect injection, stop/start and cylinder deactivation systems to cut fuel consumption by 10 percent. It also boasts dry-sump lubrication and a variable exhaust system.

Power is transmitted to the road through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, a mechanical diff and a revised Quattro all-wheel drive system that can send 100 percent of available torque to either the front or rear axle. Aluminum wishbones suspend it all on 19-inch wheels (or optional 20s), with available variable steering and carbon ceramic brakes (optional on the V10 and standard on the V10 Plus). Underbody aerodynamics generate more downforce and a more slippery form, aided by a deployable rear spoiler (or a fixed carbon wing on the Plus model).

Meh, exterior is very lackluster. Looks a lot more futuristic but the aggressiveness is lost a bit. Headlights are meh and the loss of the full sideblade is despicable.

Interior is a lot nicer though.


EDIT: Dont know why I typed "exterior looks very high." :lol:

Might be alone on this, but I liked the last gen body better. Specs are nice though, but for this money I'd rather buy a used LP560.
