Audi Prices 2010 R8 V10

By Marty PadgettMarty Padgett, July 27th, 2009

The 2010 Audi R8 gets a new V-10 option this year--and when the Lamborghini-derived engine is on board, the R8's pricetag swells to $147,200.

The new edition of the stunning two-seater switches from its standard V-8 engine for the priciest version. With the V-10, the new sportscar accelerates from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds, Audi promises.

Audi Hits the Screen with Iron Man

By Marty PadgettMarty Padgett, April 9th, 2008

Audi's hooking up with Robert Downey, Jr., but don't worry -- there won't be any trouble-making except on the silver screen. Downey's the star of the film version of Marvel's Iron Man, and Audi's the official car of the summer flick, which makes its debut in theaters on May 2. Downey plays Tony Stark, a brilliant superhero who built his own high-tech armor and uses it to work for the good of mankind. Cleverly, when he's out of his armor suit, Downey slips into an Audi R8. Fine, but we're jealous for two more reasons: Downey's co-star is chicken-cutlet queen Gwyneth Paltrow, and she gets to spin around town in an Audi S5. Jeff Bridges and...
