Audi R8The mid-mounted 420 bhp V8 FSI engine, quattro permanent four-wheel drive and Audi Space Frame aluminium body form the basis for truly outstanding driving dynamics. The Audi R8 will be available to order from 28 September 2006; first deliveries will be made in the first half of 2007.  Audi R8 The characteristic proportions of the vehicle are dictated by the location of the engine behind the cockpit. This layout is a typical feature of race cars. One of the most striking examples of this design – and as such one of the legitimate antecedents of the Audi R8 – was, and still is, the Auto Union Type C Grand Prix car. The central position of the engine is above all a boon to driving dynamics, as it allows for a weight distribution, as on the R8, of 44 percent to the front and 56 percent to the rear. Porsche 911 TurboThe primary objective for every 911 Turbo is to challenge the limits of technical feasibility. Not only in terms of performance and dynamics, but also when it comes to ride comfort. On this latest evolution, we’ve completely redesigned a number of systems and components. The result builds on the achievements of the previous 911 Turbo – a car widely acknowledged as the ultimate in sportscar design.  Porsche 911 Turbo As you would expect, the new 911 Turbo meets the highest expectations in terms of engine performance. The classic flat-six unit develops 353 kW (480 bhp) at 6,000 rpm from a 3.6-litre displacement. Maximum torque of 620 Nm is available between 1,950 and 5,000 rpm. To achieve that capability, we’ve combined VarioCam Plus with twin turbocharger units featuring Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) – a totally new technology on a petrol-engined car. With a standard manual gearbox, the new 911Turbo requires just 3.9 seconds to reach 100 km/h (62 mph).

I forgot to mention that BMW built the 6.1 litre V12 with 620HP which was the engine in the McLaren F1, which was the fastest production car until 2005. Reaching a top speed of 240 mph. So for those that dont think BMW makes the ultimate driving machine, do your homework. Everyone else is. Look at all the other manufacturers copy cating. First it was just the style, now the navigation, park sensors, the whole 9.
ALMSM3racerCS (6682) - Posted on 03.20.2008 Ive been waiting for the day I would hear about a BMW supercar, and thats what this is. I pretty much think that this is gonna spank alot of tail. I just wish that BMW would shut everyone up already. For all you that read this google the 7sec E36, yea I said it 7 secs. Audi, VW, Mercedes, Bugatti, Lamborgini, Farrari, Porche, noone can match up with BMW. They are the Ultimate Driving Machines & If you dont believe me, one day you’ll see
(6682) - Posted on 03.15.2008 This car looks good, for a BMW.But the Audi R8 is heaps better and cheaper.
