That tv advert for the Audi R8

[Benjy]

heard that its got a lambo build engine in them

They literally take the Gallardo engine from the Lamborghini and drop it straight into the R8 and put Audi rocker covers on top of the engine.... thats it! Even their R-Tronic gearbox is the E-Gear one that Lamborghini use which is why the gearbox is so criticised. Once Audi bought Lamborghini they literally pinched the engine and gearbox from them and used those in their supercar. Only the V8 model is an all Audi engine which is derived version of the RS4's.

I have to say I love it when I am on my own and I am on a motorway, no one around and I relive the begining of the Cannonball Run where the countach pulls away from the police car. Thats what it reminds me of when I pull hard in mine with the noise.... I have to chuckle to myself every time.
