Audi R8 Video, Sells For $500K in Auction

For all of you sports cars fans out there, you'll enjoy this video of the new and improved Audi R8 V10...



Today the 2009 Boca Raton (Fla.) Concours d’ Elegance auctioned the first U.S.-bound Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro to raise money for the the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County. The car went for a whopping $500,000. In 2007, an Audi R8 sold in a sealed-bid Bergdorf Goodman auction for $425,000. Regular MSRP is around $180,000.

The 525 horsepower "monster machine" won't officially arrive in dealerships until later this year.

Audi A6 Commercial and Reviews

For this year's Super Bowl, Audi paid homage to old school movies with your typical car chase scene. Thus, the name for this commercial: "Chase". In case you missed it, check out the video below...



I like that there was a humorous element to it. Audi really made the A6 look very glossy in this commercial - so much that for just a minute I actually liked the A6 better than the A8!
