Just got this last week. Have to say it's such a move on from the previous gen R8. I loved my old V10 but this one just feels levels above.

Wasn't sure how I'd feel about the bright red and red interior but it actually works really well. I haven't seen another like it yet smile

Will add to this once I get to drive it a bit more - eagerly awaiting as much sun as possible to give it some!

Congrats. Looks great and red is my favourite colour for the R8.

If you haven't done so already, check out our FB page at R8Owners Club GB.

That's very nice indeed.
I keep looking at them and watching the used price, but they're holding well
I agree about it being a big move on from the previous generation R8. That was a great car, but had a long life and the current model brings it right up there with the others in the market.
I had one to borrow for a few days from Audi, and it left me super impressed

Getting it booked in for a full 3 day detail, as unfortunately it was an ex footballers car and the paintwork up close looks like it was washed with sand paper on occasion. Once complete I'll get some proper pics up, the exterior colour should look beautiful, I really like the bright red interior too.

That's a lovely car, Audi paint is pretty tough so should come up all right

Wow, it is a small world.

I have a company on the airport, so if you're around will probably be a frequent event biggrin the sound and sheer thrill of gunning it hasn't got old yet. Those lights are a great spot too with nothing ahead of you.

The car was Jack Wilsheres for Arsenal.
