should have bought the safecraft fire bottle... hope nobody was hurt.

I think this should be taken as a warning to everyone buying an Audi RS8 V10 on this board to be careful of this problem although they will probably fix it before it goes into full production.

Makes the half-shaft problem a small issue :wink

Is there anything to buff?

I always thought a good vanity plate for an Audi would be INNI

That car doesn't look very exotic in either picture. The "Before" picture may be a bad angle because the proportions don't look very appealing.

Ouch.

I'm not crazy about the way it looks, but it's alot more appealing with the V-10 in it!

I think it looks pretty good compared to a 911 turbo which is its major target. But it sure ain't as purty as a Ford GT.

It definitely has it's own niche. More exotic than a Turbo, not as pricey as a Gallardo. Looks like the less-powerful version is getting good reviews, so the top dog should be a blast...

 

[ROCMAN]

If it follows Audi's depreciation trend, we could pick one up in a year for $40K off sticker!:wink :biggrin

Look at its back half..... It's a 300zx (350zx)??? Nissan.... yes, I said it

Hey folks, be honest! This car is ugly compared to our GT (the Abt for sure), not? ;-)
One car I like is the Aston Martin Vantage V8. Looks need - Amazing shape and a roadster will come soon...
Maybe...
