I've just wet myself....

Hi all,
Just seen my first R8 on the road..well, parked next to a pavement really.

I hadn't seen one in the flesh previously. It looked stunning in black with the CF side panels. I thought it would be tiny but it has real road presence and it seems wider than a gallardo somehow.

Has anyone else seen any about? What do you all think of them?

Looked like this:

One local in norfolk silver with carbon black, looks stunning.

em, not on the road, heathrow airport T1 departures

[rs4v8]

no2.... looks ten times better in the flesh and that's no exaggeration. very low and wide. overall looks tiny, not very much bigger than a TT.

I've seen 5 or 6 now, they really do look the Nuts on the road:)

I saw that one in T1 as well (2 day boring meeting in Brussels)

(some guy there in an RS4 polo shirt obviously just travelling, think he might have been german)

It is a very nice looking beast.

Audi did do a great job with the design.

Love to have a drive to see what it is like compared to the RS4

Well smart. The devil in me was dying to put a set of big greasy paw prints on the bonnet but the boy was keeping a close eye on everyone round it!! total ridiculous shine they get on their show cars. Must take ages to do.

Did you buy a ticket mip? and by the way, don't whinge about being in Brussels for two days, I guarantee it's better than being on nightshift in sakhalin sland for 28 days straight!!

I've seen loads on the road now, probably because i live near a PDI centre and they are going out like hotcakes at the mo!. Totally agree with the better in the flesh comments.

[buzzard]

now seen my first.....albeit in a show room at stafford audi.

have to agree totally.

not really been that bothered by all the pics but ...all of a sudden.... WOW so much better in the flesh

not really a supercar fan (rather have mihnea's 500S4) but very impressed

rear end lookes fat and purposeful and side panels take away TT look.
