For those of you interested, the new R8 Configuration page is now live at http://www.audi.co.uk/new-cars/r8/r8-coupe.html
I'm going to see it at Goodwood tomorrow, so it'll be interesting to see what it's like in the flash

150k. No thanks.

Piles of them at Le Mans. Meh. I'll stick with ogling 991TTS.

Hit with the ugly TT stick.

Early V10's for £100k less and same motor look good value!

I've heard a couple of people who've seen them in the flesh left underwhelmed.
I must admit, it looks a bit pants on the configuration image. I guess I'll see tomorrow. Hopefully the car they have there isn't the awful press car with the bright orange side blades - Suzuka with black wheels and carbon blades will/would be my spec

Ive gone on there and spec'd one and it came to over 150 large.... I'm keeping the GT for a bit longer or will be changing the brand.

Not sure if I liked it or not

The nose is fecking ugly
The ridonkulous gear selector is horrible plastic

Did they still have a rear boot badge glued onto the filler cap?

Some design cues where done by a drunk man

Especially when the mk 1 has an Ali embossed filler cap and solid Ali gear knob.

70bhp gap between normal v10 and a plus seems a lot

Have to agree, a v19, or a v10 get looks better value

Yeah, cheapo plastic fuel cap with what looks like a stuck on badge

Interior is Very nice though, and dash/controls are really a step up from current Audi's (except TT)

Looks well nice to me, interior looks great!

Against all its peers at Goodwood it won a big meh. No one looking at it!

Looked sweet at Goodwood. Not a huge fan of the fussy 20s. Prefer the S6 / RS6 style 19s

However, as mentioned above, the COST of this car.... and the stuff that remains on the options list?!

Cruise? B&O? Mag ride? Sport exhaust? The Sports Plus Pack is a cheaper way to order options, but I don't think anyone who likes driving wants Dynamic steering, 'hateful' reviews on the Hurracan. And why is a larger fuel tank optional, why isn't it just standard

The Plus with 610 PS does look like the one to go for - ceramics, buckets, carbon side blades, carbon interior trim, shame it doesn't get the mag ride and / or sport exhaust standard

Respect to anyone ordering one

I guess it looks OK in its own right, but in the super car paddock, not a second look. Much more interesting stuff there. 140k gets in a faster fully spec'd 991TTS. 160k gets you in a McLaren. 120k gets you a Z06, whilst I'm not necessarily a fan of all aspects, that thing goes and sounds well.

Looking like a TT is not where you want to put your £140k

Looking like a mini P1, there is the winner

I'm inclined to agree, though everything was overshadowed by the fezzas. FXX-K what a monster. Not quite in the same financial ballpark mind.
