  | Re: V10 powered R8 to have 480 hp? I know that R8 V12 TDI will be the world's 1s diesel supercar, but i'm asking top of the line? So, there won't be some V10/12 petrol engine with more than 500hp...?  |

| Re: V10 powered R8 to have 480 hp? i think 480 is not enough to seperate it from the v8, think about the extra wieght 2 more cylinders will bring. but if they make it more than 500, it is lambo territory, so i think they should just make one v8 and a diesel v12 as the top of the line. |

| Re: V10 powered R8 to have 480 hp? a model line Audi never has made before, but porsche do and BMW.. (with great success) CSL and GT-RS I'm talking about lightweight.. If they make the R8 total hardcore with the overweight stuff taken away.. the V10 490 BHP engine will be great.. and it's not like the Gallardo or the V8 becauase it's a GT3-RS rival.. Pure Racing! Just me thinking out loud..  |

| Re: V10 powered R8 to have 480 hp? You know guys a supercar where you can pick from a V8, V10 and V12 sounds very much like just another boring family sedan to me. Like a supercar where you can pick 3 different engines sounds very uncool and weird and everybody will just want the V12. Its all about exclusivity and having 3 engines to choose makes this car lack in that department which is unfortunate when you see it's looks. Last edited by CarGuy; 02-09-2007 at 07:05 PM.. |

| Re: V10 powered R8 to have 480 hp? Well yeah its a more of a supercoupe but many car mags label it as a supercar and comparing it to supercars doesnt do much to disprove that either. PS maybe ur right this topic got me thinking all wrong then http://www.germancarzone.com/showthread.php?t=6669 Last edited by CarGuy; 02-09-2007 at 07:40 PM.. |
