Audi's R8 Named Most Wanted Car In 2010 For Second Year In A Row

The Audi R8 V10 captured the 2010 "Most Wanted" award from the editors of Edmunds' InsideLine.com. As one of six vehicles to win this accolade, it is also the second time in two years that Audi has won this prestigious award.

In August 2009, a newly introduced engine variant for the R8 went on sale with a 525 hp V10 FSI direct injection, making a rare sports car once again eligible for another round of "Most Wanted" votes. The R8 once again raised the bar for performance and refinement in the supercar category and attracted the attention of enthusiasts of a new kind - the gaming industry. Featured prominently as the star of the Forza Motorsport 3® for XBOX 360®, its quattro® all-wheel drive propels the vehicle from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds for both the manual and single-clutch R tronic transmissions.

Every car and truck for sale in the United States is eligible for the six "Most Wanted" awards without a price cap or limitations on a new model or a redesigned nameplate.

"Just as the name says, these are the six vehicles that the editors of InsideLine.com want in our driveways the most," said InsideLine.com Editor in Chief Scott Oldham. "They're the ones we personally lust after. The ones we desire. Our personal favorites. These are the cars and trucks we like best."

I sold my R8 4.2 not too long ago. I ordered the new 2010 911 Turbo :). Now if it still had that front push button on the wheel instead of proper flappy paddel it would have deterred me away, cause I hated it! Anyways very excited to get the call.

You can smoke Lexus LF-A's with your upcoming Turbo. According to the factory specs it does 0-62 mph in 3.2 seconds. Wickedly fast.

local dealer says turbos are hard to come by and if I want one for the summer, I need to order now. When are they quoting delivery to you?

Willis..The LF-A in the real world will probably hit 3.1 with good launch control and run the 1/4 around 11.2 (127). Believe me,the 911 Turbo is not going to be faster than the LF-A.

As for that Ugly R8(love the V10 though) the LFA runs rings around that thing!

LOL that doesn't take much, the v8 R8 still hasn't got a ring time under 8 minutes meanwhile the v10 one still holds a slower ring time then the less powerful "barbaric" z06. LFA runs with the viper and zr1.
