It can't be a mistake buying this car, right?

I really like this car. I heard it was about 85k. I wonder how big it is. Hopefully bigger than a TT

Its 110K €, about 135K $

I'd really like this car. The write-ups have been great.

Are you sure about this? I heard there was a v8 version, and a v12 coming later. Maybe the v12 version is about $135k. As much as I love this car, I'm not sure I'd pay $135k for an Audi. I'd rather pay a bit more and get a gallardo or f430.

"The car has a 420 horsepower high-revving V8 engine and all-wheel-drive. It uses the mid-engine Lamborghini Gallardo platform, and will somewhere between $80,000 and $110,000 — positioning it squarely against the BMW M6, Porsche 911, and Aston Martin Vantage."

I used the price configurator on the german audi homepage and its 104,000.00 € (111,790.00 with R tronic) without any extras.

Perhaps we just pay more taxes in germany... (price includes 19% taxes)

It's still an Audi.

BTW, it's highly unlikely for someone to get an F430 for a "bit more" than $135k.

Hello 2nd car.

Get it used in 2 years, it'll probably be at 50% of the price.
