Is the R8 a supercar?

I'd call it a super gt than a supercar
It has lots of creature comfort and lots of people use them as dailys with no complaints

>>15613395
except for the unreliability

>>15613430
A 600 hp supercar isn't meant to be ultra durable now, is it?

>>15613368
never really understood the hype behind the R8

>>15613496

I think its a nice looking car. Also that V12

Is it Exotic in appearance or has exotic features? (number of cylinders/unusual materials etc)

check.

Does it have an exotic price-tag? (around the cost of Ferrari or Lamborghini's current staple performance car such as the 458/488 and gallardo/huracan.

Does it grab normal non-car enthusiast's attention more so than the average Porsche 911 when rolling through a decent middle class community?

Is it at least faster than sub 40-50k performance cars? (adjusted for inflation)

This is subjective but these would put it in the realm of Super-car for me. am i missing anything? Some cars tick all of these boxes but are Luxury GT cars so they might be slower than the before mentioned budget performance cars.

its a genius car though because its existence was apart of a marketing move that drew more costumers from the Mercedes and BMW brands whom Audi was loosing costumers to.

>>15613527
Man, it has a V10 not a V12.

>>15613562
That was a concept car though, it existed. Not sure if it still does

>>15613496
>never really understood the hype behind the R8

It was the first production car with full-LED headlamps

What the LFA is for Toyota, the R8 is for Audi.

>fuel efficiency
>less risk of the car becoming engulfed in flames after a major crash
>cheaper fuel

Meme or not?

>>15613613
Oh I didn't see the tdi.

>>15613657

dumb

people like supercars/sports cars because they have loud, throaty gas motors with high redlines and lots of power

just because diesel is king in endurance racing with all the mpg and whatnot, doesn't mean it would be any fun in a sports car

>>15613430
>unreliability
lmao compared to what your 1996 Corolla or Civic?

>>15613663
I agree on the sound part although using diesel would make it much for appropriate for daily use and long commutes + the added safety.

>>15613630
It's a modest supercar for a modest person.

Reasonably price tag, highly dailyable.

it looks like they put eyeliner on a first gen and made it skinnyer

>>15615164
Doesn't gasoline ignite on powerful crashes? Diesel doesn't do that
