VIDEO: Audi R8 V10 review by Fifth Gear

Posted by Hootan Mahallati | June 16, 2009 | In audi videos

The English TV show Fifth Gear has recently driven the V10 version of the Audi R8, the 5.2 FSI. You know that the V8 version has already been hailed as one of the best cars of all time; the 525hp 5.2L V10 engine that is very similar to the one found in the Lamborghini Gallardo just moves the game further along in the 5.2 FSI.

The big question will be: is another 105hp enough to justify the significant price increase? We don't know what the price for the 5.2 will be, but expext something around $150,000 to $160,000. For your reference, the 'base' R8 with the V8 starts at $114,200.

By the way, I think the below Autocar video is better than the Fifth Gear video. Just listen to that V10 wail....And while I am it, I threw in a Gallardo video for your viewing pleasure.
