You petrol heads have probably already seen it, but in case you haven't....

damm! lovely car (well it was) - I assume that that owner got out ok!

but audi's not for me, too much of a bmw fan boy since a kid

cant get the fact out of my head that the M5 touring is quicker 0-100-0 mph than a working r8

dazzapb · 09-04-2007, 03:01 AM

Ouch.

Looks like a serious design fault- maybe something like a fuel pump problem?

They are saying over on detailingworld that the licence plate indicates it comes from where Audi cars are tested to was maybe a prototype.

We saw one that had broken down in the fast lane about 1/2 a kilometer from the Italian border from Switzerland.

The police had put some bollards around it and it seemed everyone and their dogs were taking pictures of it. The owner looked very unhappy.

Seems Audi may have a reliability issue

So the A5 got beat on 5th gear and now the Flagship R8 is on fire all over the net,

Still, at least there's a new A4 on its way... apparently.
