  • onlygeek, on 05/10/2008, -10/+5ooh, just saw the movie yesterday..kewl ride
  • trammell, on 05/10/2008, -16/+14"A direct competitor to the Porsche 911"... This is what the TT should have been. About 2 minutes in, I found myself saying "How much?" out loud over and over. Want!
    • ryansking, on 05/10/2008, -0/+12I think he said 72,000 pounds.
      • RBrenner14, on 05/10/2008, -10/+5Does it make me a bad person if I initially thought he meant the car WEIGHED 72,000 pounds?
      • ryananger, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4Nope, it just means you are an American.
    • borninda818, on 05/10/2008, -1/+4http://www.audiusa.com/audi/us/en2/new_cars/Audi_R ...
      Starting a 100k but with all the stuff you want + dealer markup + tax = at least 135k
      • Alex2, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5Starts at 150k in Canada. so F--- Audi for the markup.
    • jd72277, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4weird that you asked people on this site vs just looking it up. By the way, guys, what should I eat for dinner tonight?
      • robbiemuffin, on 05/11/2008, -1/+1pizza. pick me up some beer while you're out getting that too, ok?
      • Woosta, on 05/11/2008, -1/+0Steak, with mashed potatoes and asparagus, served with a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon. Enjoy.
      • Coded1, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti?
  • lfroker, on 05/10/2008, -2/+67youll like this too.

    i love this car with a passion
    • johncooksalot, on 05/10/2008, -4/+22nice... Top Gear.... top quality
    • bawpcwpn, on 05/10/2008, -2/+20"This is like smearing honey..into Keira Knightly."
    • rileyhallwood, on 05/10/2008, -4/+25top gear>fifth gear
      • zephyr42, on 05/10/2008, -2/+2because most fast cars have 6 gears?
        • cquinnd, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4No, beause Top Gear is more irreverent and about having fun with dream cars. Fifth Gear is a great program in its own right, but they are not the same.
      • KMartSheriff, on 05/11/2008, -0/+4Top Gear > most of the crap on TV
    • zephyr42, on 05/10/2008, -2/+3Could you imagine how amazing the car would be with a supercharger with a fair amount of boost? It would drop that 0-60 a ton and would give it that punch off the line it didn't have.
      • thetinguy, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1It doesn't have punch off the line because it's 4 wheel drive.
      • jsully, on 05/13/2008, -0/+1Natural Aspiration > *. It's a V8 that redlines at over 8K - you'd ruin it with boost. I think Audi knows what they're doing.
  • warrior007, on 05/10/2008, -7/+5Amazing car with stunning looks
  • warrior007, on 05/10/2008, -10/+2when i saw at curves , it is looking like driving a car in the video game

    Great drive with great car
  • LauraBlu, on 05/10/2008, -11/+4I am going to find a way to own that car!
  • borninda818, on 05/10/2008, -9/+2Ahh Product placement at it's finest. Did you notice the A8's in that movie too?
  • Eslamicolt3, on 05/10/2008, -10/+4Thank you for clarifying that it was the car in Iron Man. I might not have noticed if not for your astute observation.
    • somenice, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3It looks suspiciously like the Superbowl car
  • batfink, on 05/10/2008, -7/+4Whats the music at Circa 2.30 in?
    • ilikesboobs, on 05/10/2008, -0/+5black holes melting in the dead of night and the superstar sucked into the super massive......Muse - Supermassive Black Hole
    • lacreme, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2HOW COULD YOU NOT HAVE KNOWN THAT
  • chetanthaker, on 05/10/2008, -9/+3Iron Man destroys this car in his garage !! WTF !!??
    • Anpheus, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3Wrong car. I think he destroyed a blue Shelby, but I might have to see it again to check.
    • cadmiumpaint, on 05/10/2008, -0/+3He destroyed a Shelby Cobra....a crime that should be punishable by death if it were truly an original. =)
  • falch69, on 05/10/2008, -2/+106lol "Iron Man Car"? This car was kicking ass long before Iron Man came out.
    • toddkay, on 05/11/2008, -1/+0Yea super cool movie and all, but I hope it doesn't spoil the R8s legacy as being what everybody thinks of when they see it
    • robbiemuffin, on 05/11/2008, -2/+2I hate to be the one to break it to you but, they dont film it and go straight to the theatres. average turn around is north of 4 years, some movies are half again as long ... and I've seen scenes filmed 10 years out or more (seriously) before the final version finally comes around.
  • socivitus, on 05/10/2008, -7/+1Incredible car, would be awesome if it was under 100K.
  • kenshin159, on 05/10/2008, -9/+4Now that Alex Albrecht got his new BMW, its time to update your car to this one Kevin!
  • MaxMWood, on 05/10/2008, -10/+5This car is 90k in the UK.
  • Ksg89, on 05/10/2008, -8/+5http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R1TIJqFDbg
    • Nitrus, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2top gear> fifth gear
      Above this reply is a proper review of the "Iron Man Car" that has been out for ages, and everyone acts like is bespoke to the film.
    • had3l, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1Oh no, the Porshe won!
  • Ksg89, on 05/10/2008, -7/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-R1TIJqFDbg
  • abszint, on 05/10/2008, -5/+3WANT
  • altinnovation, on 05/10/2008, -3/+23I was more impressed by the guys driving ability to not tip over any traffic cones while driving at over 60mph at a distance of 5cm from them.
    • Nayson, on 05/10/2008, -0/+20Its Tiff Needell. He used to be a pro racing driver. He was in touring cars, and he did the Le Mans 24hr. I think he even had a season in F1 back in the day.
    • joeydoo, on 05/10/2008, -0/+7He wasn't supposed to be driving the car that fast around the track... that's why the cones were there. They didn't count on Tiff's skills though.

      Here's a video of him thrashing the stunt driver from Casino Royale in an Aston Martin DBS.

    • monoa, on 05/11/2008, -3/+1It's called 'editing'.
  • rileyhallwood, on 05/10/2008, -6/+37top gear>fifth gear
  • bensone1, on 05/10/2008, -6/+1i would give my left nut for that car
  • saikyan, on 05/10/2008, -6/+4If I could choose to have any car in the entire world, I would choose an Audi R8. This car is awe inspiring.
    • cadmiumpaint, on 05/10/2008, -2/+2Any car in the world currently in production.....a Bugatti Veyron hands down. The R8 is better if you actually want to be able to drive it and not worry about somebody breathing on it wrong.
    • J3EBS, on 05/10/2008, -1/+1I'd go with the Koenigsegg CCR. Nothing sounds better than a V8 with twin superchargers, not to mention it's faster than a McLaren F1.
      • mangasm, on 05/11/2008, -1/+0About time they started making cars that were faster than that.
    • saikyan, on 05/14/2008, -0/+1Everyone got dugg down for naming their favorite cars. Nice.
  • LiquidRetro, on 05/10/2008, -7/+9This is old man, almost 1 year old. It aired April 30, 2007. Its from Fifth Gear a British car show in the UK. The driver is Tiff Needel. Download the full episode here http://www.finalgear.com/shows/fifthgear/11/1/
    • cquinnd, on 05/10/2008, -1/+4Don't know why you got dugg down. If you like cars even a little bit, shows like Fifth Gear and Top Gear are must watch television.
  • yourmightyruler, on 05/10/2008, -5/+41Top Gear > Fifth Gear.
    Just waiting until June 15th until new Top Gear.
    • cquinnd, on 05/10/2008, -1/+2I like them both, especially since Fifth Gear seemed to get its bearings back after the "lost" season.
      • karolisonline, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2but fifth gear is more like robotic and top gear has very good style
  • cj485, on 05/10/2008, -4/+3excuse me, i need to go change my pants.
  • ConanTL, on 05/10/2008, -2/+3I love the car from a technical perspective, but I've seen it on the road and in my humble opinion it's that as great looking as they made it out to be.
  • InsaneOni, on 05/10/2008, -5/+24That video sucks, why wouldn't you post from a decent source like Top Gear?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UwyX2w-arnQ&feature ...
  • kb29, on 05/10/2008, -2/+5Do want.


    brb lottery tickets
  • MMaster23, on 05/10/2008, -7/+2lol @ title .. like we don't know the car without the (kinda piss) movie :P

    oh and 5th gear sucks .. old men trying to be cool.
    top gear are old men that are cool .. haha
    • mrhedges, on 05/10/2008, -1/+0Richard Hammond isn't exactly old. Unless by comparison, you're 10.
  • Nextrix, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1I love how they took a lot of ideas for this car from their concept model the RSQ, also shown in the movie iRobot.
  • Uaedaien, on 05/10/2008, -4/+2topgear is better
  • SebG, on 05/10/2008, -7/+5Topgear > 5thgear
  • afrofire11, on 05/10/2008, -11/+1DOOD IS THIS SRSLY THE IRON MAN CAR

    I CARE A LOT IF IT IS

    BUT JUST IF IT IS
    • J3EBS, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2I don't know if you're trying to be sarcastic or not, DOOD, but either way I have to pull out my red pen and give you a FAIL. DOOD.
  • yourpalOZ, on 05/10/2008, -4/+1Well when the economy gets more reliable I might buy one.I just bougt a BMW 135i 6spd and that will hold me.....I like the GTR better at $70k thean the R8 at $125k though
  • Septimus, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1If you can afford it, wait for the RS8. UK is getting it this year supposedly, not sure when US will, but can't be far behind.
  • username484767, on 05/10/2008, -4/+1topgear is better
  • cadmiumpaint, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1When I saw Iron Man they had one of these bad boys outside the theatre on a red carpet. Pretty sweet to see up close. Wish i could afford it.
  • Seann7656, on 05/10/2008, -2/+0Wont be needing to fap tonight
  • blinkgreen, on 05/10/2008, -0/+1I was really surprised to see that car in the movie. I had recently seen that car in an auto show a few weeks before in atl. I believe it had a price tag of about $140,000 (roughly). I couldn't get in it though, it was roped off.
    • mangasm, on 05/11/2008, -1/+0about 30k lower than that is msrp I think
  • RetardoCrisp, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2It won car of the year for a reason guys. ; )
  • johnflan, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4Vorsprung durk technic
  • bobitchq, on 05/10/2008, -0/+4watching this marvel with F****D up video aspect ratio is like watching fat Jessica Alba...no digg
  • Akram, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2I've seen 3 of these where I live up north in the UK. Black, Silver and Black/Silver. It's the LED lights that makes it so nice. It's the first time I saw an Audi and said, i'd take that over a Porsche.
  • Wootstapler, on 05/10/2008, -0/+2We don't need to be told it's the Iron Man car to know it's an Audi R8
  • originofawful, on 05/11/2008, -0/+3http://www.audiusa.com/audi/us/en2/new_cars/Audi_R ...
    Starts at $109,000
    Do want.
  • mitch37, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1CAR IN A COOL MOVIE!!? Im sold.
  • wastelander, on 05/11/2008, -4/+1The reason everyone is staring on the Vegas strip is that they are wondering why someone is driving down the street with a video camera aimed at them.. and what is "alume-meen-eum" they speak of? (yeah.. I know)
  • skull24, on 05/11/2008, -1/+1I guess we know what Kevin wants for Christmas.
  • dekleining, on 05/11/2008, -2/+1well, it's about time you people learned about the R8. i ***** hate you for not being car enthusiasts.. and considering how old this video is, you should've looked at it a long time ago under your own volition, not because it's an outdated story.
  • dekleining, on 05/11/2008, -4/+1I'd rather have a Ferrari 430 Scuderia.
    oh wait, I DO HAVE ONE.
    Anyone who wants the R8, go get it, then come race me.
  • mcducks, on 05/11/2008, -0/+1dugg for tiff needell
