Found this interesting article, the R8 is more capable than I thought

It might make a great everyday car, more room awd, carry two sets of stick behind the seats. If it doesn't get too pricey, I'll buy one. But, I would be getting it as a TT replacement or sports car, just an unusual daily driver.

The turbo crushes the R8 as expected. Just another 911 wannabe, it can join the NSX and all the rest
Seriously, it's a neat little car but it's no 911 turbo .

The styling on the Audi is a bit too futuristic for me , as if due for release in 2020 or something . the 997 looks set for the time period . of course they are both exceptional cars and you kind of get the feeling with all current german cars that there are no losers amongst them, regardless of your choice......

First of all, at about $10-20K more in the real world and about as competent, I'm not sure how well it stacks up to a C4S.
A TT??? I haven't read the article, but don't need to. Nolo contendere from any performance metric.
I have seen the car at the Chicago Auto show and posted some pics afterward. If anyone thinks the R-8's design will last...I'd like to interest you in some land.

Was that article using sourced test data or were they really getting a 3.4 0-60 from the stock TT?
