Audi R8 on test in Las Vegas - YouTube Video
My first "sporty" car was an Audi Fox back in the early seventies. I can't compare it to the R8, but I do have a certain affinity to Audi engineering.
The video shows people being distracted from the lights and glitter of the Strip when the R8 drives by and causes a refocus of their attention on the 2-seat, mid-engined super sports coupe. The video also has some good shots of the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and has excellant production qualities. Now, where can I find an extra 110 grand to buy this beauty?
From the wikipedia article:
"The Audi R8 is a mid-engined sports car released by the German automaker Audi in 2006. Audi announced in 2005 that the name of the successful Audi R8 race car would be used for a new road car in 2007, the Audi R8, based on the Audi Le Mans Quattro concept car, which appeared at the 2003 Geneva Auto Show and 2003 International Motor Show. The R8 was officially launched at the Paris Auto Show on 30 September 2006. There is some confusion with the name which the car shares with the Le Mans winning R8 LMP. Originally, many thought the car would be called the R9 (as there is a gap in numbering left when Audi announced the R8's successor, the diesel-powered R10)."
