dropped by my local Audi centre earlier this afternoon hoping to get the chance to spend a bit of time with an R8 (something i've been wanting to do for a good few weeks now!) thankfully today my luck paid off and i was presented with this wonderful example, thought i'd also take the effort to take a few decent pics of the car, hope you like 'em smile

Nice shots, was this the local dealer? Cool for just off the forecourt.

I must admit it looks so much better with the carbon side panels, but if you offered me that one, i wouldnt say no biggrin.

cheers smile

this was indeed at my local dealer, just outside their recently refurbished/enlarged showroom, i had been hoping to catch their demo R8 (grey with carbon Sideblades IIRC) but it is the only one in the dealer network of 4 garages and is on the road a lot! so this just sold example came as a nice surprise

this one looked stunning, thats Aero blue IIRC, suits the car well, but Phantom black with oxygen silver 'blades would be the one for me i think! cloud9

I haven't seen one in white yet, but have a feeling it will look very good, didn't get a shot of it did you?

Great pics of the R8.
