2 FSI QuattroThe first US-bound 2010 Audi R8 V10 was sold at an auction at the Boca Raton Concours d’ Elegance last weekend to raise funds for a charitable cause. The R8 fetched half a million dollars for the benefit of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Broward County. The R8 has an MSRP in the neighborhood of $150,000.

Due to the interest shown toward the supercar, Audi of America followed up the sale with another R8 V10 which was also sold that same evening.

I agree with ubercool cool on this one, the R8 looks too similar to the TT, it should cost in the region of about $40-50k!!!

In fact it's a rebadged Lamborghini Gallardo, retailing for about $145K.

right, because normal R8s are collecting dust on showroom floors.

Damn, $500k! THat's almost as much as I paid for the downpayment on my house. It must be nice to have that kind of disposable income.
