AUDI held a roadshow in Seria just recently at OGDC giving opportunity to Kuala Belait people to view the astonishing car specifically the R8, which is limited in Brunei therefore it will be considered one of the rarest car that can be seen on the road of Brunei. AUDI also allowed visitors to go for a test drive on other AUDI Cars but not the R8 of course. Below are the pictures takend during my visit to OGDC. Thanks to Azri who lend me his camera to get this shots.

Inspired by the most successful Le Mans racing car of all time, the Audi R8 has been created from 70 years of motorsport innovation. The mid-mounted, high revving V8 4.2 FSI® engine delivers 0-100km/h in 4.6 seconds and a top speed of 300km/h. quattro® permanent four-wheel-drive distributes power when and where you need it. And the breathtaking design is recognisable the moment it appears in a rear view mirror.
The Audi R8 is a mid-engined sports car introduced by the German automaker Audi in 2007.
The first appearance of the car was in 2006, appearing at auto shows and events all over the world. The R8 is based on the Lamborghini Gallardo platform, as Audi has full ownership of subsidiary Lamborghini S.p.A..
Audi announced in 2005 that the name of the successful Audi R8 race car would be used for a new road car in 2007, the Audi R8, based on the Audi Le Mans quattro concept car, appearing at the 2003 Geneva Auto Show and 2003 International Motor Show. The R8 was officially launched at the Paris Auto Show on 30 September 2006. There is some confusion with the name, which the car shares with the Le Mans winning R8 LMP and also the 1989 Mk 11 Rover 200, codenamed R8. Originally, many thought the car would be called the R9 (as there is a gap in numbering left when Audi announced the R8's successor, the diesel-powered R10).
The R8 is used as a safety car in Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters racing series.

The Audi R8 is equipped with a 4.2 L FSI V8 engine developing 420 PS (309 kW/414 hp) and 430 N·m (320 ft·lbf), the same engine used in the B7 Audi RS4.
The transmission is either a manual gearbox with metal gate, or a "R-tronic" gearbox (single-clutch semi-automatic sequential manual). These options are the same as those available on the Lamborghini Gallardo. A double clutch gearbox (Direct-Shift Gearbox - DSG, now badged by Audi as "S-tronic") is not currently (as of January 2008) available.
The R8 has a dry weight of 1560 kg (3439 lb). Its suspension utilizes magneto rheological dampers.[4]
