Guess they didn't want to compete with the Lambo, but that's just not enough power.

 

IMO that should be the TT instead of the pansy car that is.

 

I think the actual look of the car is amazing... and the interior looks beautiful. It's still going to be a great move for Audi.

 

Expect comapnies to mod the heck outta this one since it is still at a reasonable price...

 

I dunno..still wish they had stayed closer to the original proto they released...it's still good looking though.

 

I think it looks good and will be interested to get behind the wheel and see how it fits. Power does seem weak, but there could always bring a higher trim level out with a bigger engine. It's a good move for Audi, I think it'll sell well.

 

I like staring at the door and thinking it's a Gallardo in another life.

 

I think it's perfect. The HP...the look, everything is perfect. The only Audi I would consider buying. Even though I'm into horsepower, I haven't got to a point to say 420hp is not enough.
That's plain wrong. 0-60 in about 4.5 is plenty fast. It's not supercar status in terms of straight accelation, but that's okay I think. The only thing 'wrong' would be the AWD. I don't think many people need AWD for performance vehicles... I could be wrong.

 

Sorry, I don't like it much. Looks like a bloated Smart Roadster to me, especially the profile shot. The interior is a bit Star Trek, but I like it. I don't think anyone can complain about the FSI V8, though!

 

I like it, any indication that they will stick a smaller motor into it with a true manual, I would be very interested if the price was around 75K and it had 350hp.

They already do. The article states that they offer it with a real 6-speed manual, as well as the flappy paddle nonsense.

Remains to be seen what they market it for. If it's in the mid 80's somehow, it would be on my radar as a daily driver.

 

I love advertising....that just made me want it even more.

 

The car looks great both inside and outside. Sad that they are using the V8 instead of the V10 from the G... so they spend a crap load of money on the R&D of the car and then stick the RS4 engine in there? I guess for the price it isn't too shabby.

 

I do remember reading that there will be additional trim levels where they talked about putting turbos with the V8 as one option and the other would be to stick in the old V10 from the G once it gets its engine upgraded. I also remember reading in the pre-production press-release that this car was designed to be a Porsche TT killer...Only time will tell I suppose.
