    I really don't get why people are referring to the r8's speed, the advert isn't saying that the car drives slow. It's the slowest car they've ever built because the car was slow to build as in the time taken to build it. The video explicitly shows a fast forward of the painstaking time that it has taken to build the car and you can just about see that it has been hand built from scratch by a team Audi engineers.

    This commercial means so much to me. My mom used to work at an Audi dealership and she only ever owned Audis and VWs so I was naturally obsessed with them ever since I could remember. I remember watching this commercial over and over and over when I was a kid. 17 years later I own Audis and work at the same dealership she did. I live and breath Audi no matter what and I will die on that hill. This commercial almost puts tears in my eyes knowing the fate of the R8 in 2024. RIP R8 will forever be my childhood dream car. I’m lucky enough to have driven as many as I have and for that I’m very grateful.

    For those people who don't understand the title, when it advertised the title "slow" it didn't actually meant the car was slow. But "slow" as in attention to detail, the slow process of making the r8 is due to handcraft man ship to make it precise and more hand man made instead of factory machine made.

    GTR is nice because the style is still good, launch control (0 to 60 under 3 seconds) and with the right exhaust it can be very powerful. Was very loud. People stopped and stared with their phones out when I drove by them in this. Couldn't leave the gas pumps w/o a crowd
