It’s Friday, Fiends, and to be honest, I don’t know anyone who couldn’t use a little track time right now. How abouts nearly one full lap of Nurburgring chasing the ever-sexy hips of the Audi R8 to wet your whistle? The video after the jump is big on techno beats and not on the kind [...]
Audi has to advertise for these things? I thought filthy-rich Fiends everywhere simply sensed every last one of the 525 horses put out by this car’s 5.2-liter V10 and were pulled – like salmon – to dealers, check book in hand.

We knew there was some serious demand for the 10-pot Audi R8, but no one could have guessed the first states-bound ride would go for $500,000. Of course, the coin didn’t go to line Audi’s coffers. The final price tag was part of a charity event set up to raise cash for the Boys and [...]
Speaking of bad-ass Audi’s, the company has let slip that the V10 variant we saw at the Detroit Auto Show last month is go for U.S. sales. For those of you looking for 528 rip-roaring horsepower out of a 5.2-liter German V10, Audi’s got your answer. According to an internal memo dished up by the [...]
The street-version of the Audi R8 is lust-worthy enough. With 420 ponies kicking at all four wheels, the car provides the kind of get up and go any supercar could be proud of. When the company announced plans to produce a race-only variant, four-ring fanboys’ heads exploded all over the globe. The cars are compliant [...]
Another bit of Audi goodness for you. Last month, Audi pulled the sheets off of its R8 with the big nasty 5.2 liter V10 behind the seats. That’s the same mill that kicks the R8 GT3 car ‘round the track, which means we’re looking at 528 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque. Unlike the race [...]
