After trump cards of the recent batch of ams the trade press last opportunity to get actual driving impressions with the new Audi R8 and now I'm trying to collect from the smorgasbord Credi some work out. My suspicion is still always that one gets turned on here flashy nouveau riche posturing as a blue-blood ...
"At least, in the master table values of R8, the penalty under control"
you believe the auto motor sport so The R8 (at least) as "emotional" like a Porsche 911 (and this is actually already the symbol of cool German technocracy in perfection), and despite his obesity - can not a half tonnes of live weight with a mid-engined sports cars will be labeled differently - as nimble as a gazelle and "anything but a softie." At least they have moved away from the idea that the Audi could play in the same league as Ferrari (or propagate it, at least not so candid). But still draws the Audi lose out if he would be compared to real sports car, has yet to ams this time showing the simple 911 as a trump card opponents - and we all know that even a Cayman S to be dangerous this can. Also confuse the lighted glass display cases like Engine cover, and when turning the ignition frenetically twitching hands with emotions. make

The development goal of the R8 at high speed is absolutely under control has been achieved - about everyone agrees. Very few testers have idea with which this had to be bought. In the aerodynamic setup of the designer is always faced with the same dilemma: Down Force or Zero-Lift? The former allows outrageously high cornering speeds and absolute control of load cycles, but decreases at the same speed. Second option to ensure stability at high speeds, it is clear from a more indirect steering ratio and takes the car's agility in rapidly successive curves. It should be clear that the R8 was thus angediehen ...
passenger car drivers are the best
Here are now the opinions and impressions gradually disintegrated. The ams recognize the disadvantage of the Audi over a Porsche is silent, but how does this happen. The guys from Auto News times have no clue of cars blow, but deadly dull any figures on production technology and out and keep the handling to be divine. Unfortunately, they shot a video in the test and in an absolutely embarrassing As exposed (rather blurred, because without a tripod, exclamation from the passenger and cameraman, as the first ride in a Golf GTI as a 15-year-old - amateurish, there's at youtube.com in masses). They were allowed only one of a few small rounds on a tight course marked out with cones turn, where you really could not leave the car nor anything else, but afterwards thought to have seen it all and so the report also reads them.
jumps in a flawless facade
The Austrian motorline.cc holds dear as discreetly covered with a plus - because what you do not say (qualified) can also be silent. Instead, you can get at them a whole lot more sober consideration of the topic. Weaknesses are clear: Squealing brakes, significant loss of tractive force in the automated manual transmission (still a crime against the well-kept driving, if no transmission is built by Ferrari), which is highly praised by the German press storage space for up to two golf bags with caution and the glove compartment of his name once rightly ...
Germany investigated the Supercar
What can be said about the engine? The high-revving engine, the Audi RS4 in Will use, is packed with a wide usable speed range and a clean Through The same parts. With regard to the sound of this machine, he is consistently described as a turbine-like whirring with a hint of V8 Geboller - a very inspiring sound, it's missing is the special touch of a Porsche or Ferrari. In other words, if the Audi would be a singer, then it would mean Sasha - good voice, good repertoire of low to higher, to call him a bad would be absolutely ridiculous. Only the character of Frank Sinatra and Joe Cocker, he will never have. The same is true in the end also for the rest: great ingredients, flawless finish - but a taste - or rather, no aftertaste because of the sterility remains.
