    TV Show all about the R8!! Tonight (4/26)

    The NatGeo channel is showing it's 'Ultimate Factories' tonight at 10pm ESt and its all about the R8.

    Here's the synopsis:

    What does it take to craft the new Audi R8, a revolutionary road car that rockets to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and rivals the likes of Porsche and Lamborghini? We'll head to the state-of-the-art Audi R8 factory in Neckarsulm, Germany, to see how the car's ultralight aluminum frame and high-tech fuel injection system are meticulously hand-built. In total, it takes more than a week and 120 of Audi's most experienced workers to produce one Audi R8.

    I haven't seen it yet but with subject matter like that, can it be anything but great?

    I watched the show on my laptop -- well worth it. Looking forward to seeing it on the big screen in my living room.

    I enjoyed seeing it on the HD channel of National Geo on my TV service. The video was of a better quality than the web versions. The main differences between web and US cable is the name of the show (web/UK: MegaFactories - US: Ultimate Factories) and the currency when they talk about prices.

    Awesome show, NATGEO did a great job of showing off what goes into making the R8. I especially liked the end where they discussed how the end of the IRONMAN movie had to be changed because they were not able to destroy the R8 the way they wanted due the car being built so well. I did cringe seeing them destroy a couple of R8s in an attempt to get the shot.
