Saw one of these this morning in Maidstone.

F00k me they are pretty sweet!

£76,000 worth for the base model and this one had the £2.5k carbon fibre pack as well - who knows what toys it had on the inside but I think I'm in love :)

i nearly crash every time i pass the audi garage looking in the window, i love these things and the new S5

your right they are bloody nice cars!! i saw 2 of them when i did my audi training back in april at milton kenyes, 1 of them was stripped but they started the other one, what a sound. they let us have a bit of a poke around with them but that was it ( no test drive ) :cursing: so ill have to wait till i go out to 1 then take it for a spin!!

They have 2 of these in the audi garage in warringon and they look amazing, have yet to see one on a road but im sure they'll sound nice. As for the A5 im trying to get my dad to buy one but hes not interested as there wouldnt be room for the dogs :rolleyes:

I saw the 2 in Warrington being. Look amazing

audi`s are selling like hotcakes at the moment they are seen as ultra cool compared with bmw and merc, although some new beemers like the coupe and m5 are beasty.

still they make the best looking consumer cars going at the moment, built 100% and starting to make ones that actually handle as good as they look, i.e new quattro system 60:40 RS4, new TT, S6 (new RS6 650bhp ! TT V10 ) , R8, S3 etc..

they will be market leaders shortly if not already, VW are also cashing in the close relation in image and build terms.

renault better start making some funky cars again and uping the build when the new S1 comes out ! thats like a a mini R8,TT.

R8s are going for nearly £100,000 at the mo

I see my first r8 on the road this morning on the way to work, looks amazing!

they are a total bargain compared to the 911. If only I had 80k kicking about lol

funny seeing an audi up near £100k though, especially seen as most on the road with same direction of styling are like £10k used examples with a tdi engine.

i think this car has pushed audi into the uber league

they showed us some sales figures when i was training a little while ago and i was shocked to see that audi was second in the luxury sector last year, only out sold by bmw!
