Summary
Earlier this month, Audi announced pricing for its R8, a Porsche 911 fighter that will arrive in showrooms in September as a 2008 model. And while entry to this party is anything but cheap -- MSRP is $139,900 -- there's little doubt that Audi will sell every example of this sexy car that it builds. In fact, we're surprised well-funded VW and Audi fanatics haven't been camping out in front of Audi stores since the car was unveiled last fall, just before the Paris auto show.
Truth be told, most surprises about the R8 were blown long ago. Audi revealed the car's specs to coincide with that Paris unveiling. Only the luckier automotive journalists (this writer not included, sadly) have had a chance to drive the R8, so there's still the mystery of whether it will be a worthy competitor for other low-six-figure luxo sportsters such as the Porsche 911 Turbo and Aston Martin V8 Vantage.See the full content of this document
