The Audi R8 – Redefining Beauty…

@ February 7, 2008

Audi R8

It’s not the car you idolized as a kid.
It never made your bedroom wall, or high school locker.
And there were no 1/18th scale models of it on your shelf.

Because it didn’t exist.

The Audi R8 – Revise your list of dream cars.

Consider that list revised! Move over, Ferraris, Lambos, and Porsches; we have a new winner. In fact, I feel a sudden, strong urge to save up $100K, just so that I can get my hands on one of these some day.

A car this stunning deserves an equally impressive ad campaign, and Audi’s promo site for the R8 doesn’t disappoint. Their “Dimension R8″ sequence is quite simply the best ad for a car I have ever come across — the music, the matrix-esque camera angles, and the lighting and scenery just set your pulse racing. Don’t miss it!

    It really is something special. Given the choice though, I think I would still go for a Lotus Elise (Or Exige should someone wish to throw money at me :D)

    Ah, the Elise. :)
    Can’t forget that experience I had with it at Google last summer. Great car! I’d opt for the R8′s design any day, but then again, the Elise is almost half the price, if I remember correctly.

    I can pick up a decent (Second hand, natch) Elise round here for close to £8k. I can’t see myself getting an R8 for that any time soon… I’d certainly have a hard time choosing between the two though. I’ve always said I’ll have either british or japanese cars, which would rule out the R8, though just looking at it is drool-inducing :)

    Audi has done a good job with that car. Although I still would rather get a used NSX for 30k-40k, that to waste 100k on an audi. With a Honda at least I know it will run at 200K miles. can't say the same about audi. Although I will admit the design is impressive.

    The V10 version really upped the appeal in my opinion.
