Quite possibly. There was literally a train load of them in the sidings at Ingolstadt on Wednesday. I also counted another 40+ in the dispatch yard of the factory. The R8s were the only ones to have this neat cover.

Looking at that photo, anyone spot anything odd about the rear brake disc??

It's neither drilled or grooved & IIRC the ceramic option has drilled discs so what gives??

The ceramic brakes are not drilled and the back brakes are not ceramic.

You'll find that the rear disc on that R8 can also be found on the rear of a W12 VW Phaton
