Always liked the V10+... R8 was always sex on wheels as well... I don't know if I love the new styling however, it's not smooth and sexy like the outgoing - this one is more angular and doesn't flow as smooth... IMO...

Still a beast of a car...

Yeah, it looks like a beefed up TT. The old one was way more sexy. My neighbor just got a previous gen V10+. It looks and sounds spectacular.

that thing is smoking fast and I love the look... that said am I the only one who thinks Audi interiors for the first time ever are some of the worst in the market???? Not having a screen for passenger to be able to control infotainment and nav is crazy to me and I think their designs are looking old inside. Unfortunate because forever they've been the best in the business.

Impressive specs, impressive monster car.

Agree with previous posters though, I like the outgoing one much better. Something about front end design just ruins it for me. In all photos (front or side view) front end just looks "off" to me, the rear end looks fantastic.

Not that I was on the market for one exactly, so no sleep lost for Audi designers on this one.

I was trying to think of something I care less about than the passenger having a screen to access navigation/infotainment and haven't been able to come with one.

I can see either engines being a tough sell compared to a V8. 5-cyl from the RS3/TTRS or a 6-cyl from the S4/RS4. Personally, I wish they would just stick to NA V10 only as long as possible.

Side note - How do you like your M3 compared to the TT RS? I drive a TT RS now and am genuinely curious about M3/Cayman.

I loved my ttrs, actually regret selling it at times, car was a rocket. M3 is a little different in that you can't take off nearly as quick unless dry etc and in the U.K. That's a rare thing lol

It's nicer for the long drives and it's amazing on the track. I need something more practical and in that sense it's incredible. My ttrs was modified although this isn't far behind

I like the old car's styling a lot more. Great to see someone sticking to a beastly N/A though. Not sure if I'd buy this or the 570S.

And all while having a good 50 hp less and being what, 4 years old.

All three are impressive cars no doubt and very evenly matched.

I love Porsche, and think the Turbo S is a great car, but if you want a supercar, even a relatively usable one, only a proper supercar will do. I personally couldn't imagine choosing the Turbo over the other players in this class. Even moreso when compared to the Huracan.

Love the huracan as well and think it's possibly the best supercar out there atm. I don't think you could legitimately use one every day like you could a turbo S though.

Damn that Huracan looks spectacular in that colour

You forget to point out the Turbo S is TWICE THE PRICE OF THE Z06. That's an extremely significant price difference. So for double the money, you get a car that can almost keep up around a road course.

Vs

I had an APR Stage 1 TTRS and now have my M3


I agree on the traction issues, you can launch the TTRS very quick, although it's clutch can't take that abuse for long.

I also had the MSS springs, and even with those, the M3 has so much more front end grip and bite.

The magnetic shocks and damping in the TTRS is SO MUCH better than the adaptive suspension in the M3.

I miss my TTRS sometimes as well, but I needed a full 4 seater.
