Prefer the older one on the outside but love the new interior!

Prefer the old exterior, but the interior in the new gen is so nice😍

Sweet AF! & very cool steering wheel

It will be our 2017. As it's being released here in the US in fall 2016.

Ooh wow are they sure this is the new R8, looks so understated, looks more like a sports car than a supercar, the 1st Gen looks more exotic, damn.

[hydrostudios]

It does look the same but it wouldn't be an r8 without the curves we love so much ... I think I like the twist

[RichL]

Doesn't look different? You don't know R8s very well then.

[kezboy]

I think it looks great, not drastically different, but enough to know it's the new one. Only thing I wish they kept is the side blade, sure there is a reminiscence of the side blade, but imo, a full blade is iconic on this car. I'd still opt for the 1st gen tho! :p

[Accrd]

My question is, what happened to '16, did we just take a time warp to '16 and the '17 will be released later this year like usual??? Stuff is so stupid, might as well call it a '20 next!

[dumyjobby]

all new audis look equal from the old ones but with just a bit sharper lines

[komentierer]

yeah.. just go to the audi page and compare the old one with the new one.. this thing has changed a lot!

[violian]

Shape of the front grille reminds me of the Skyline R35.

[stevengoulbourne]

I think this R8s interior look much better than the old r8 that one was a bit dated

[rosefan]

Motor Trend better review the V10 Plus!!!!

[enemay]

Did he just say, the 'you row pee yans'?

[MrGovenator]

Can't get one until the 2017 model year.... Just kidding, can't afford one any ways.

[robertjusic]

R8 was always looking sexy as fuck and was always cheaper and better than the competition
