I think if they wanna call it an R4 than it should have more *****....the R8 is sick this thing is just ok....it looks great but it needs standard quattro and baseline model with at least 300hp with top spec model pushing something insane like 450hp

You have to remember that horsepower isn't everything. With a car that only weighs 2500lbs, 200-300hp will do wonders for this little guy. Audi wouldn't give it an "R" name if it didn't have the power to back it up. As with all forced induction engines...a little ECU tune will put more smiles on your face at WOT. Nice car.

The orange interior is disgusting.

I rode in a friends new Prius the other day and was very impressed with the interior by which they seem to have simplified things and accomplished weight reduction. Put a nice 4 cyl engine instead of heavy battery and you'd achieve a nice balance.

For a sports car the lighter the better! The great ones of the past were not muscle cars but lightweight and nimble.
Keep the price reasonable and you'll have a great seller!

Our B8's are still a bit porky!

Road and Track magazine has been following the development of this car for some time now. It will evidently be offered jointly by Audi, VW, and Porsche, each brand providing its own unique styling, interior, and mechanical options.
