Best of the Best are featuring the Audi R8 in their latest Supercar Competition - this amazing car can be won for £20.
June 13, 2007 (Press Release) --
The R8, Audi’s first ever real Supercar, has been welcomed with open arms. Arms so open in fact that the waiting list now extends to May 2009!
So what is the solution? BESTOFTHEBEST.CO.UK who runs competitions in UK airports and the web to win Supercars is announcing it has one to win along with £10,000 spending money, and will have it delivered to wherever you live worldwide. The competition closes on the 30th of June 2007 and the winner will be announced no later than 10th of July 2007.
No doubt the Vorsprung Durch Technic experts are relieved at the success their Le Mans inspired V10 has thus far enjoyed. Having spent over $33 million on developing the car, they will be over the moon at the fruits of their labour: a car hailed as "absolutely brilliant" by Jeremy Clarkson no less.
Audi’s goal is to become every bit as racy and blue-blooded as its German competitors, and the company has taken a big step forward in that pursuit.
As DaimlerChrysler’s Mercedes-Benz subsidiary has its SLR McLaren and Porsche has its Carrera GT, Audi has now built its own supercar.
The R8 successfully combines the time-honoured hallmarks of the best of the classic sports cars with futuristic construction, transmission and suspension technologies, all underpinned by the steadfast reassurance of Audi’s famous Quattro four-wheel-drive system.
The genes that have been combined to create this car have their origins in Audi’s Le Mans and rally success stories of yore. The R8 is the ultimate example of perfect balance and weight distribution.
Mounted longitudinally directly behind the cockpit of the ultra lightweight, 1,560-kg aluminium-bodied R8 is a high-revving V8 which delivers an exceptional power-to-weight ratio of 269PS per tonne. Spinning freely to its 8,250rpm limit, this acclaimed unit punches the R8 through the 62mph barrier in just 4.6 seconds and, in the right conditions, can carry it on to a top speed of 187mph.
By mounting the potent eight-cylinder unit as close as possible to the centre of the new R8, in deference to racing legends such as the Le Mans-winning R8 sports prototype and Auto Union Type C Grand Prix car, Audi engineers have achieved near perfect 44 per cent front / 56 per cent rear weight distribution for optimum handling balance. Dry sump engine lubrication - another racing-derived element also furthers this aim by enabling the V8 to be mounted as close to the road as possible to lower the centre of gravity.
The stunning lines of the 4.43-metre long, 1.90-metre wide and 1.25-metre high R8 are accentuated by its striking bi-colour paint finish, with ’side blades’ in a contrasting shade and a choice of eight colour combinations.
Beneath the skin is a deceptively spacious two-seat cabin with more than a hint of racing car inspiration in its layout and appearance, and typical Audi luxury evident in its extensive Fine Nappa leather upholstery trim and generous equipment. The 2.65-metre wheel base also makes provision for surprisingly accommodating luggage space behind the seats and also in the front compartment ahead of the cabin, which has a 100-litre capacity.
So no wonder everyone is raving about this car in the press. The fact that the waiting list is as long as the Great Wall of China is no surprise. The resultant rarity of the car itself lends yet more Caché to the model, fuelling a lust that is likely to remain unsatisfied for (literally) years to come.
How to enter? Go to www.bestofthebest.co.uk. It’s a bit like "spot the ball." The player is shown a photograph that has had the ball removed from it. The winner is the person who is closest to the judge’s position.
BESTOFTHEBEST.CO.UK celebrates 7 years in the business and has so far given away over £7 million worth of Supercar prizes to more than 155 winners. The website has recently launched Instantwin, a very addictive "spot the ball" skill game that offers the players the chance to win a Mini instantly.
