Finally, something to eclipse Discovery's Shark Week madness. We didn't think it could be done, but if anything could blow the sharks outta the water, it's the Audi R8.

Audi has declared that between August 8th and 12th it will officially be R8 GT Week. This 4-day craziness is in celebration of the arrival of their limited edition supercar that they declare has "real bite." How clever, Audi.


Each day, Audi will release video footage of Audi R8 lineup. Filmed at the Infineon Raceway in Sonoma, CA, the videos will highlight the supercar's performance and stunning exterior design, and they'll all be driven by Audi's legendary racer Emanuele Pirro, who will also give his impressions behind the wheel.

We guarantee these R8 snippets will get you squealing as much as the shark footage on Discovery.
