R8 Spyder Launch

[anonymous-user]

Well my dealer finally got a Spyder in so off to see it this evening. Their Red with Alabaster Leather is late so Audi have loaned them a White one. Will post some pics tomorrow if anyone is interested.

I just hope I keep my cheque book in my pocket

It doesn't look as impressive as the hard top IMO.

went to see one at Exeter Audi recently, and despite the horrible metallic gold colour I thought it looked really good. As the coupe, appears much better in the 'flesh' than the photographs.

O/T if the R8GT also looks better in the 'flesh' than the photographs, then that will be stunning!!!!

I used to thin k that - now I'm loving it. Will report back once I've seen it in the metal.

Yeh, I used to aswell, untill I was faced with looking at the blue press car every day, and its just not that striking to me, hey ho, we all love different things.

Well, what can I say... OMG!!!!!! The thing is absolutely stunning in the metal.

Here you go...it was too busy with people to get any great shots but I think you get the idea!! These pics do not really do it justice.

That used to be the problem before the very first R8 came out...a lot of people were saying this. However, I think Audi have turned it around. Everyone I know now says to me...you know what, we would rather the R8 than a Gallardo now.

But understandably it's all down to personal taste

To a badge snob I agree. However, to a car person who concerns themselves more with the actual car than the little badge, it's £120 well spent.
