With the recent chance to checkout the new 525hp Audi R8 5.2 V10 FSI (Photos) at this years 2009 Toronto Autoshow (Photos), I was totally hoping to hear it start up but we all know that is something reserved for shows like 2008 SEMA Show (Photos), 2008 ESSEN Motorshow (Photos) and 2009 Tokyo Auto Salon (Photos).

Seeing that it’s midweek, I was in need of something exciting to watch to get my morning going. After a few minutes of surfing some of my favorite automotive blogs, I fell upon these incredible video test drives over at our friends GTSpirit.com.

Those lucky boys shared their test drive experiences about two wonderful cars, the MTM Audi R8 R and the MTM Audi RS6 both tuned by the wicked MTM (Motoren Technik Mayer). Don’t forget to checkout the MTM Scirocco R which Anthony saw at the 2008 Essen Motorshow!

Not only does Audi now have the Audi R8 LMS GT3 which stunned us all debuting at the 2008 Essen Motor Show, next month’s Detroit Motor Show Audi will introduce their new Audi R8 V10, their fastest production R8 yet.

The new Audi R8 V10 will come have the Lamborghini Gallardo LP650-4′s 5.2 liter V10 engine producing 528 hp, which is the same engine in the Audi R8 LMS GT3.

On the 1st Day of Christmas 2008 CarZi launched it’s new site upon return from the 2008 Essen Motor Show Pictures in Germany! Over the next couple weeks I will upload the 4000+ photos I took at the event.

There were tonnes of sick cars such as the 1st unveiling of the Audi R8 GT3 LMS, PPI RAZOR GTR and Brabus Tesla Roadster! The show was awesome, those German’s definitely love their European bred sports cars! I found it interesting but not surprising to have only seen 3 Nissan GT-R’s at the show unlike the 15+ some hardcore Modified SEMA Nissan GT-R’s!
