Audi RS8


The Audi RS8 isn't due to be released to the public until 2009, but it has already created a buzz among car enthusiasts. This sleek V10 powered machine is said to sport a 500hp engine which could give just about any Porsche a run for its money. It accelerates from 0-60 in under 4.4 seconds and comes standard with oxygen silver sideblades to enhance its appearance and torque. Recently, Audi aired a Super Bowl ad inspired by the famous godfather scene depicting , Alex Rocco, who played the part of Moe Greene, in the original godfather film, waking up to spilled oil in his bed instead of blood.

The R8 starts at $109,000.00, I can only imagine how much the sport version will go for. For a car of its size it is extremely wide and its frame sits low to the ground which lays the groundwork its impressive handling and traction.
