LOVE the second gen. I have scoured the internet trying to find one in reasonable condition but it seems impossible...

I hope not. Even if it is, I hope the price isn't that outrageous

It's all down to production numbers, if they build 5000 then it would be around GTR money in the UK but if they build the same 300 units of the original then it will be north of £110K in my opinion. Such a price would make it solely for the stupid rich and the collectors.

Love the concept... just hope it doesn't cost a ridiculous amount (which it will).
It'd be really cool if Audi got back to their rally roots with it. |

Since this is a business, it's going to be all about the money.
Where does this fit in Audi's price structure? Is this less than an R8 and more than an RS5? What's it competing with? Seems more like the equivalent to what should have been the M1 (as opposed to the compromised 1M).

It would make sense slotting it smack dab in the middle of the RS5 and R8. What they need to do is bump up the base R8's 4.2 with either more displacement or FI. Give it about 480bhp so the Qattro has some breathing room.

I thought R8 V8 was replaced with the V10. V8 still in production?

Dumping random R8 love. TK you'll prob notice how these remind me of a certain "Gem" of a tuner I have an abnormal obsession for. Only things I can't say I agree with are the grille treatment and badging.
