Audi TT, Audi R8: Shown on Rodeo Drive

As if the LA Auto Show is not highlight enough, Audi of America topped that by showing the new Audi TT and the new Audi R8 on Rodeo Drive!

Following the first day of the L.A. Auto Show, Audi executives relaxed over cocktails and live music with a dark-as-night R8, an S8 and a TT Coupe bathed in the glow of promenade mood lighting. For executives and journalists attending, this was more of a wind-down from yesterday’s launch of the TT Roadster on the Audi stand inside the show hall. For a select group of locals, this was the first chance Angelinos and those from the left coast have had to take an up-close look at Audi’s ground-breaking new sportscar.

Audi AG board member Ralph Weyler addressed guests, making mention once more of Audi’s intended R8 pricing. To quote the German executive, the R8 will sell for about “$110,000 nicely equipped”.
