Ive seen one, and believe me, its shocking seeing it in real life, its simply beautiful, I think it looks better than a Gallardo....

SZ for me

One of those cars which is better when seen in person. Interior is very cozy, exterior could use a little work. Power is not that bad. Cool for me.

Sub Zero. Like nothing else on the road. It wreaks of beauty and apparently is a good drive to boot.

Just cool IMO, I admire that it drives well in most situations and looks ok, but it just doesn't excite me the way say a zonda does.

Can it be sub-zero? I'll wait until the twin turbo V10 version comes out.

I thought that had already answered this poll before. The R8 is definitively “Subzero”, I like this futuristic car since the launch of the LeMans quattro concept.

Default cool

I dont think its a pretty car but it is true to the look of an audi so at least its not trying to be something else which i think is cool. gotta agree with top gear on the LEDs though. overall a cool car i expect the supped up version to be SZ.

There's no "supped up" version yet. That'll probably get its own poll. Oh and technically, it set the look of all new Audis, rather than the other way around.

Cheap next to LP560-4, you mean. The old Gallardo didn't look that expensive.
