Audi R8 in work today

[DiscoStu]

Its nice to finally see one in the flesh

[David Godfrey]

kinda looks like a TT

Seriously does look a nice toy.

[2DOGS]

Agreed, looks the biz and prob drives like a supercar but 92k

[Allblackdup]

Nice pics Stu!!



Does look awesome and definately smaller than i imagined! Very interested to see what Clarkson and Co think of it...



Sorry if this is a silly question, but why was it at a Ford garage??

[Freewheeler]

The roofline and mirrors look very Gallardo'esque...... Looks fantastic IMO!!

The guy who owns Newport Ford also owns other dealerships including Skoda next door and the new Audi Dealership near junction 30 Cardiff among others but i cant remember them all.

How can you say it looks like a TT... they're soooooo ugly (IMO obviously) that R8 that is gorgeous!!

[Huw Pugh]

Nice looking bit of kit that, but I'm not fussed on the side panels. Maybe, and only maybe, in the right contrasting colours it might look alright. But for me i'd have to have them all the same colour.

[Andyt25]

IMHO Fussy design, just not fussed. It will be the fashion statement of the year and the car to be seen in on the London Kings road.....it's not pretty but it's not agressive either...the side bits make it look like it's two cars stuck together....don't get it.Give me a 911 GT3 everytime...

Lovely looking car, saw it come in on the transporter and then drive off after being unwrapped, sounded



Pity whoever was driving it couldn't get 2nd gear as he pulled off



Nice photos Stu.

Looks a nice motor apart from the silly side plates/grills whatever however, for 92K I believe there is a far better choice of car out there.

[bean455]

Trust me,if it drives better than an RS4 it will be awesome.Went to Cardiff Audi to see it,stunning.Longer than I thought,got a drive booked,so let you know what i think.

Amg sl55 gets my vote,Aston is probably one of the least exciting drives you could have,buy a DB9 Instead,but make sure you are a member of the AA!The R8 is even longer than a Gallardo.Martin from Sinclairs drove an R8 in Germany and says its amazing.Thats good enough for me.

[WWESTY]

Well EVO are certainly impressed by it this month......

[W3LSH]

very nice
