Would you class an R8 as a Q-car?

[DanB7290]

Normally I'd say no because of what it can do and how its designed, but I've seen one or two lately and haven't taken a second glance that I would if say, a 911 Turbo were to pass by. Don't get me wrong, they are great cars, but are they just a little too "normal" looking? Not that its a bad thing of course...

This.

A Q car is something like an S6.

[anonymous-user]

No, not unless Q means Quick.

Subtle and discreet they're not.

[wackojacko]

Q they are not, Beautiful they are.

[tyranical]

Do you only look at the Porsche to try and work out which one it is because they all look so similar?

I think the only way that car would be discrete or unexpected is if you were in a warehouse with no windows and all the lights switched off in total darkness...so, for that reason, I would say, erm, no!

Saw a blue R8 Spider in Audi Slough the other day. Looked rather good if I'm honest!

..but then you would see those (lovely) DRL lights.

I don't think they look tooooo different to a TT in the main. But they sound different!!

[Chicane-UK]

LOL no.... an R8 is sports (super?) car which anyone knows packs at least 4.2 litres of V8. There is nothing even remotely Q about it...

It's loud, low, and has the performance to match the looks.

Do you understand what a "Q-car" is???

[Nick3point2]

Royal nail is a Q car.

An R8 is in no way a Q car.

[Munich]

No.

Only if the car was on. Imagine the noise of one of those being revved in a warehouse

[Hol]

No way.

[mrloudly]

On my 2007 Coupe you could turn the DRL's off and I did On my 2010 Spyder there is no option to disable them

I don't really like them, as JC said, "Council house at christmas" LOL

[Baryonyx]

No. I often think of them as a fast car for people with little interest in fast cars.
