Looks very nice, but likely to be circa £150k in uk, and value will drop like a stone when next gen R8 hits showrooms next year
You'd have to really want the latest R8 and those posh headlights to spend that sort of cash on what's effectively a runout special

It's a GT with the updated lights and S-Tronic.

From the pic above - no buckets?! Seriously?!

199mph. Come on surely 1 more mph would make it look all that much better.

Is it even coming to the UK? Looks like a US only car to me.

Most probs... they cant/ don't have the Recaro bucket seats let alone the GT race buckets.

It did appear for a couple if days on the uk configuration site, but seems to have disappeared now
From memory, was £152k, but comes with those cool matrix beam headlights from the a8

I stand corrected, uk version is LMX ;

LMX is about six months old now, must've sold them long ago.

I've got my finger on the pulse as always then

It was the pace car at Le Mans! Keep up at the back.
