Red Red Red 430 vs Gallardo Spyder vs R8

Noticed this nice set of pictures on the DubaiSupercars site -

I like the Lambo in that colour. Reminds me of my Lotus. What is the offical name for that red or is it a custom job?

Top find!

The Lambo looks amazing in Red!

That red G is stunning.

It's Rosso Vic, I'll probably get the 560Spyder in that colour

Why has the Gallardo got the old style rims on?

Those are the standard ones - the Callistos are a ££££ option

Brilliant choice sir. I look forward to the pictures.

not bad for outside a shopping centre!!

Only the Ferrari looks good in Red IMO. Nice pics though

[Forthright MC]

Rosso Scuderia is the best colour for the 430 IMO, the G Spider looks great as does the R8, the Carbon Sideblade breaks the colour up nicely, definetely a bit more tastefull than that all red example that there has been various pics of floating around on here

+1 I'm a massive fan of the G's but not in red

[logoman]

surprised how bad the R8 looks.

[kryten22uk]

Yep the TT, sorry the R8, certainly looks the lame duck of the bunch.

[Harsh]

Perhaps the emperors new clothes are finally being revealed?

I'm not an R8 fan, at least not in the way it has been hyped.
It's a good car, but is it a groundbreaker? it's not (imho) that good looking.

what does run in its favour is that it's cheaper than all it's rivals and it comes from a good solid manufacturer.

but so did the Honda NSX... and that was a ground breaking car....the first ever usable supercar.
why is the Audi lauded and more popular than the NSX?

one word.

Hype

But its not cheaper than its rivals. The 911 is the same price. Its certainly not in the same group as the 430 or the G.

completely agree.

I also agree with the hype thing. I like that Gallardo covertable though, it looks great in red. I personaly like the Gallardo in red or black only. The other day glow colours are naff IMO.
