Here is my guess… R9= 4.2 V8 S9= Lambo V10 RS9= BiTurbo Lambo V10 This is usually how Audi pans things out. ---

I’m not a fan of the one body piece being a different color, but I read it will be an option to have it body color matched. Other than that it’s a really hot car. 10x better looking than the upcoming NSX or Supra. I guess growing up in the rust belt I’ve seen too many cars with different color doors to appreciate the “artsyness” of their design. ---

Some Red and White. Both colors make the cf stripe look good imo ![http://www.auto-news.de/webcore/data/content/Auto_Article_EXT/18345_1170171969830.jpg](http://www.auto-news.de/webcore/data/content/Auto_Article_EXT/18345_1170171969830.jpg) ![http://www.auto-news.de/webcore/data/content/Auto_Article_EXT/18345_1170171957872.jpg](http://www.auto-news.de/webcore/data/content/Auto_Article_EXT/18345_1170171957872.jpg) ---

The stance on that car is spot-on. Goddamn it looks evil. ---

This car has really grown on me. I love the design, but my comments about the stripe and the name still stand. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/news-audi-r8-sports-car-green-lighted-for-production/4928.md?page=1)
