Ok so Audi is dropping a V10 on their R8 thats based off the Lambo V10. The car is just plain gorgeous. Also, RS6 will be using a V10 as well along with 2 snails. Honestly, this has got me thinking twice bout my purchase of a 997. Its got the looks, now I'm just waiting for performance figures. What do u guys think, will this RS8 be able to stomp the 997 Turbo? Which would you pick between the two?

The RS8 also has larger intake openings and bigger brakes than the R8.

 

No, the 997 will not get stomped!

 

^ So 997TT has ur vote?

 

Im an Audi man. Give me an RS4 and I'm happy. Not saying I would buy the 997 at all. Im saying it wouldnt get stomped...... in stock form

 

O ok. Thnx for clarifying.

 

IM sure the "With X amount of dollars my Evo will stomp either!" comments will start soon.

The RS8 is going to be sexy.....and wicked fast. Im surprised VAG is going with that move, you would think it could undercut Lambo sales

 

R(S) 8 is nice... but the RS6 is way too heavy for me.

 

the R8 has more than just a motor based off the lambo... it shares the same chassis if i remember correctly

 

^ The RS8 is now carrying Lambos V10 estimated roughly around 490-500+hp. Yes it does share the same chassis.

 

Why do you put the RS8 vs the 911, its a super car, Carrera GT would still stomp it.

To me no current model super car is as pure as The carrera gt is full manual with just a huge NA v10 thats gotta be nuts, only thing to compare in terms of rawness would be the f40 but thats a different era and kind of car.

Scorke

 

^ I agree Carrera GT is just absolutely awesome, the reason I compared them is because they are in the same price range.

 

Wait for new S5

 

it will be slow like the current S4..

 

It's not just about going fast...

It's class that has to do w/ it.
