Audi R8: History, rumor and conjecture

If you want to know everything about the Audi R8, this is the place to go!

One of the most anticipated new cars from Audi is also probably the most exclusive since the homologation special Sport quattro. Audi’s new R8, a mid-engined, aluminum-made, exotic has its debut firmly scheduled for Thursday, September 28, 2006 at 4:00 PM Paris time. That’s 10:00 AM Eastern Standard Time for those marking their calendars.

And it’s guessed that plenty of calendars are being marked. The buzz on this car seems to be extending well beyond the camp of the four-ring loyalists. We’ve seen theories, snippets, spy photos and more on just about any website or magazine covering the auto industry, and a few that don’t even cover cars. In as much, here’s a summary of what we know – a mixture of what we’ve heard from sources at Audi, along with credible rumors we’ve heard elsewhere.
