thanks so much for that scan. It's a beautiful car, let's hope they keep the price when it goes into production.

Thanks for the article, it really would cause problems if Audi released the car being more poweful, faster and cheaper than the Gallardo! Only thing is the Audi doesn'y have the charisma or pedigree of the competitors.

It's sad that the car's specs are being determined by marketing objectives and not engineering limitations. I would like to think that when you buy a $100k car you get the best performing car that can be build for 100k minus a healthy profit margin. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be common practice in the automotive industry.

What bothers me the most is when companies charge EXTRA for additional displacement. A slightly larger bore or longer con rod does not make a motor more expensive.

(end rant)

Thanks for the scan.

"thats Ferrari Enzo, Mercedes SLR, Porsche Carrera GT and LAmbo Murcielago SV territory"
Did i miss sumthing? Murc SV??? I really hope they'll make 1, but i cant remember anything even slightly official being said about that...

As you said Audi lacks the racing pedigree of lambo and ferrari, but I feel sorry that they have to tune it down,because of it would have eaten the lambos and ferraris...... :twisted:




Excuse me? Auto Union (Audi) has more racing pedigree than Lamborghini for sure. Hell, even Nuvolari drove for them.
