I don’t know, I’m not the kind of person that would know the technical definition of antique anyway. But I’m past midlife and wasn’t alive for the era so it’s pretty fucking old.

[-]

bigChrysler@reddit

I wasn't thinking of the technical definition of "antique". I suppose it may be normal to refer to appliances or clothes from the 60s as antique, but I don't typically see people refer to 60s cars as antiques.

I wasn't alive in that era either, but most of my favourite cars are from the 1950s-60s and it makes me feel old to see that.

[-]

Expert-Masterpiece70@reddit

Audi's Art of Engineering is best expressed in their Normally Aspirated V6 like the 3.2L and the 4.2L V8. They've also produced some disastrous botched abominations like the 2.7T Twin-Turbo V6 and the 1.8T and 2 0T 4-Cylinder Debacles. The V8 R8's are The Art of Engineering in every way, weight distribution, almost a perfect 50/50, aluminum body, which is lighter and stronger than steel and of course Quattro, full-time gear driven all-wheel-drive. Frankly, the V10 is overkill. VW owns Audi, Bugatti, Bentley, Lamborghini, Porsche, Seattle and Skoda and they all share technology. I worked for Audi in Manhattan at their Forum on Park Ave at 47th St and did several launches for the A4, TT, Q7 and the R8.

[-]

stupidfock@reddit

And a lotus has the same engine as a Toyota Camry. Doesn’t make it the same car. Don’t think anyone would choose the v8 over the v10 but just speaking for v8 cars the R8 is not a bad pick. It’s 500 lbs lighter than the s/rs models, handles better, mid engine, etc.

[-]

Sketch2029@reddit

Being lighter and handling better is also why people pick the v8 over the v10.

Slow_S60_@reddit

A 5.2 liter V10

[-]

AnotherIronicPenguin@reddit

I mean 0-60 in 4.5 vs 5.0 seconds is kind of academic, and sharing the V8 with the S/RS models likely means lower running costs. Still looks and sounds great and is objectively quick. I sure wouldn't kick an R8 V8 outta bed for eating cracker.

[-]

Slow_S60_@reddit

It’s definitely a great car

[-]

Current_Homework_143@reddit

V10 w/gated manual FTW

[-]

jafo@reddit

Yeah, agreed, if I'm getting an R8 I'd want the V10. I drove the Audi V10 in an S6, and I loved that engine. I didn't end up getting one because it was too much like my other car (B6 S4 w/40v V8) so I ended up getting an A8 instead.

[-]

Why not?

[-]

derkfisch13@reddit

the v10 is the one you want

They made fwd ls cars. It's called the LS4. Designed for that orientation. Most notably used in the impala SS and grand prix GXP.

I don't think anyone looks at an LS swap into a 90s Japanese powerhouse, and thinks "fuck the Corvette motor, I want the smaller Pontiac one!"

Well... this breaks your rule because it's not a big V8.... but I've always wanted a Ferrari 355F1. It's such an iconic car - really marked a pivot/return for Ferrari in a lot of ways. It also ushered in an era of wannabe "flappy paddle" automatics. A completely impractical choice, the car will always be cool to me.

A slightly more practical, while still heinously expensive to own option, would be the E92 BMW M3... just because I miss the 3er of that era/generation.

Ferrari 430 manual. One of the best sounding 8s IMO, gated manual is wonderful, looks good, drives as well as it looks

Jaguar f type. More fun than it has any right to be. Sounds amazing, one of the best looking modern cars, great auto box

C6 z06. Big 7L lungs, engine feels like it never runs out of breath. Incredible driving car, even if the interior is ugly and cheap. Best looking corvette to my eyes

E55 AMG. Proper AMG lunacy in a subtle exterior. Autobahn missile with a blown v8 under the hood that is perfectly happy doing the morning school run

I’ve always wanted an OG Mustang fastback with a spicy 289 in it. That engine oozes charisma and charm, and it looks wonderful

That said, I currently own two supercharged range rovers, and they are magnificent to drive. Best suv by far in my book.

Also have an Audi S8 v8TT which, while biblically powerful (runs 10.60 at 131) it’s quite a boring car to drive.

1969 GTO Judge in Carousel Red......thats orange to us normal people. 😁

With the original 400 ci engine and a Muncie 4 speed (m21) transmission.

Not fast by today's standards, but a heck of a ride with 4 wheel drum brakes and a questionable steering box!!
