New V10 plus loaner

[535dboy]

The RS4 is in for its first MOT unbelievably already.

Dealer lent me new R8

They've just phoned to say I may have to keep it another day while they check some diagnostics on mine which of course is a big shame

Lucky bugger!

Nice one but why are all the new ones i've seen at Dealers, sat on those terrible 19" wheels? They look stupid on what's otherwise a stunning motor.

Same applied when i attended the pre launch, the car looked amazing with the exception of those stupid wheels. Even the C7 RS6 comes on 20"s as standard & nice looking 20"s at that. Why supply the flagship Audi with such nasty wheels?

[535dboy]

Nobody there disagreed!!

He did say that there is a supply issue with the 21s on the Q7 so I don't know if that is the same issue here.

Looks like Darth Vader shagged a TT. Disappointing.

[SuprSi]

From a performance point of view I'd imagine the 19" wheels would work well, but I agree they don't look the best. the worst thing is they're shod with continentals

I like the rear of the car, but that grille (sp?) looks terrible!!

I've just spat coffee over my keynoard. classic

Drove one yesterday, though the half hour outing was not sufficient to determine whether the game has really moved on. The cabin is far better but we knew that. Not sure about the looks still, though it is better in white than black.

Drove one too and I'm not changing mine

Had one to try for the day today
Very impressive car, but the spec of the loaner was not to my taste

It had the sports exhaust, and the sound is as good as my neighbours Huracan. It's a lovely sounding thing, and miles better than the somewhat quiet cars I'd heard at Goodwood previously

that one actually looks OK !

I prefer the 19's

the 20's are too fussy and look oversized

[HYFR]

the Mk1 sounded like a can of baked beans until you fit a aftermarket exhaust, preferably a capristo

the Mk2 is simply keeping up with the market. no one wants a silent 6 figure super car !

[Graeme4130]

. no one wants a silent 6 figure super car !

Exactly that. The early Audi cars that they showed at Goodwood left me a little underwhelmed in terms of the noise, but the sports exhaust car I had the weekend sounded really blimmin good

I'm not sure if the new styling is growing on me or not
On returning the demo car at the weekend, there was a white V10+ of the old shape parked up in the carpark, and I think the old shape is the better looker to my eyes
I like the side profile of the new car, but the front on and rear of the old car looks a bit more aggressive . Maybe it was the colour of the loaner, I guess time will tell.

Googled pic

Interior of new car was very nice, but in the limited time I had with it, I found the dash a little too complicated and there's too many buttons that largely seem to do the same thing. Perhaps it'd just take a bit of learning.

[535dboy]

I agree on the buttons

I also was frustrated to note that it will still kick down even in manual which the 4 doesn't do and I like !
