I just drove Audi R8

I just drove Audi R8. Very very nice I didn't get chance to go faster than 120 km/h or push it in the corners. Engine note is amazing!

Video is being uploaded as I type this.

It feels very civilized, super smooth and linear power delivery. It pulls very nicely at 3K rpm, but for some reason seemed to bog down where G would keep pulling at VERY low revs-like going over speedbump in 2nd gear.

I didn't like the shifter-it was making squeaking noise around the gates. Throws are firm and precise, but bit long, I wasn't shure if I shifted to 3rd or 5th.
Brakes are amazing, that thing would stop on a dime.Clutch is as light and smooth as my mom's Mazda3, I noticed same thing on S4 too-very easy to modulate.
Seats are very comfortable and feeling in cockpit is very cozy, wrapping around you. There's little space in footwell and even at my 5.7 my left knee was uncomfortably bent resting on dead pedal. People with large shoe sizes will have a problem there.
My friend who brought it said that this car will drift and make donuts! Power delivery to front wheels is only between 15-30%.

Oh yeah?

Well I drove a Yaris today. Top that.













Freaking unreal man. I'm green over here.

I will say though - I don't care if it is a press car, that thing should be pristine.

LMAO, that's a hard one to beat. I might go test drive a Honda Fit tomorrow just to top you.

Then I'm going for a Versa. What the heck the Nissan dealer is 10min walking distance from my place. LOL

I saw a R8 back in August in Phoenix on I-10 (West bounded) while I was driving my mom's Denali. It was right behind me, and I was "followed" for about 5 miles until I had to get off to the loop 101. LOL

BTW, that LED front lighting was absolutely cool.

EDIT: I remember it had a manufacturer plate from Michigan.
