Thumbs up Just for you AudiLover... Audi R8 Spyvid

Video - Spy Video of the 2008 Audi R8 Super Car Audi has confirmed production of the R8 super-coupe, which will go on sale in spring 2007. We brought you photos last year of a test 'mule' running under an A6 bodyshell, and then the “real thing” o

I'm loving the American pronunciations of certain words like Coop for Coupe and Gay-ardo for Gallardo.

I'm not realy a huge fan of Audi's but this one doesnt look too shaby.

Not really - Gallardo is actually a Spanish word, it means "striking". Murcielago is also Spanish, means "bat".

The "ll" of Gallardo is actually pronounced like the ll in "Millionaire" (Appropriate ) so whilst still not quite correct it is pronounced more like Guyardo than Gayardo - but is actually more like gal-lyar-doe (well something like that - Spainsh is a bugger to write phonetically!)
