I remember first seeing pictures of the 570S thinking the front end was a, well, a bit.....ugly. I saw one in real life and it looked absolutely fantastic!Something is very cold about them??

+1Great bit of tech, but like Uncle Ron, just seems to lack any soul.
The Sports Series is a very different drive to the old 650S.
All the journo's rate it as a 5 star car. Chris Harris was particularly impressed I seem to remember.
570S is a bit like an Exige but with double the power and a few more goodies in the cabin.
Unless you think Lotus's are soulless too.
I guess it comes down to what you rate as soul. If it's a big noisy n/a V8 or V10 then it's not the car for you.
But if you your definition of of soul is a car that is lightweight, brimming with driver feedback, can be danced on the limit and has been designed and built by driving enthusiasts then the 570 is worth a look.
Horses for courses etc.

Looks like a Lotus by Mansory.
The Audi V10 plus convertible is a far more mature and better resolved design.
Vastly better engine and interior too.

I like the R8 but the convertible looks very heavy and bulky.
If anything it's the R8 which feels a bit soulless. Great sounding engine but hampered by numb steering, understeer, a fidgety ride and a dull cabin poached from a saloon.
Depends on what you want from your car.
I also think the old R8 was much prettier.
