Default Has Audi put out a supercar?

I was coming out of the local Lexus, Audi, MB, BMW dealer yesterday and as I was pulling out an Audi of some type was pulling in. It looked like a "supercar" type low and wide and I was just like WOW what a hot looking car.
What was it, anybody know?

Audi R8, not quite "super car" territory. Of course, http://www.audiusa.com/audi/us/en2.html
could have answered that question much faster.

could it be the Audi R8?





Or this:



The Latter being the Avus quattro. Its VERY rare, if even in existance. I believe it was only a concept, and a VERY old one at that (1990-1991 i think). If it was the Avus, NICE find!

Ya it was probably the R8 I saw yesterday. WOW what a sharp looking car. I didn't know Audi was making a car like that LOL.

Thanks, Cliff

There will be a V10 version of the R8 coming out that will make it more "super", kind of ...

It sure as hell looks like a supercar. I mean, it's a little short, but it has all the markings of one and the profile.
