I know cars might be a bit off-topic for this blog, but apart from beer and technology, they are the things I love the most. Plus I ended up Googling for new Audis after finishing (again) Need for Speed Carbon and was wondering if the Audi that Darius drives was actually a real car.

It turns out that the Audi Le Mans Quattro he drives was a concent car that Audi did a few years ago but the new Audi R8 seeems to be the production model based on that concept. I was hoping that it might be a step up from the TT and with a year of saving and a few bonuses, I might actually be able to get one. No such luck, it’s Audi’s £76,000 super car!

The R8 is a mid-engined, 4.2 litre V8 with all of their latest technology and even some parts from the Lamborghini Gallardo (Audi now own Lamborghini) thrown in. It’s also one of the best looking cars out at the moment, possibly in my top 3 along with the Lambirghini Mercielago and Aston Martin DB9.

It’s definately on my wish list now and is also replacing the BMW M3 in my dream garage.
