When you consider the free options that Audi is providing on the V10, you realize what a bargain this car is, relatively speaking.

Quote:

Other R8 5.2 FSI quattro standard equipment highlights include rear-biased quattro all-wheel drive , Audi magnetic ride, Audi Navigation plus with 3D graphics and real time traffic, 465-watt Bang & Olufsen Sound System®, 6-disc CD changer, Bluetooth® telephone preparation, SIRIUS satellite radio®, Audi parking system plus with rearview camera and 10-way power heated sport seats.

I think you only need to add the carbon fiber on the interior ($2500), carbon fiber side blade ($2300) and full leather ($3500) and that's it. With gas guzzler and delivery, the final car will come out to $157K.

If you can justify spending that kind of money on a 997TT,you sure can justify spending 146k + x on the R8 V10

Everytime I see a V10,I think " I knew that this is the V10"
did they change anything on the body or the suspension?(other than the exhaust pipes)

imo,the V10 sounds much louder and more agressive than the V8,which was quite tame

I'm suprised it's starting that low. I figured it would be higher

When you add up the cost of the options that Audi is making standard on the V10, it turns out that they are only charging like $13K more for the V10 engine. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.
