Hi All, Audi R8 V10 Plus newbie
Discussion
Hi All, I am now the very proud owner of an Audi R8 V10 Plus in Bright yellow! If I can work out how to share photos on here I will add some, my previous car was an R8 V8 Spyder, very nice but hell this V10 is a totally different drive.
I bought her from Premier GT north of Brighton Sussex....that place took my breath away...the cars there are mind blowing!
Are there many Super car/R8 meets in the U.K.?
Cheers
Val

Welcome to the club.
The social scene for R8's only isn't great however I'm planning on launching an owner-only Facebook group to purely address that within the next week or two.
In the meantime, there is this Facebook page which you can like and contribute but it's open to everyone and anyone. Have a look at the events section which details past supercar events for this year - they're mainly events in the south though!

Welcome to the group. I am an R8 owner too ... but don't get 'em started on here about whether an R8 is a Supercar or not! :-)
Just in case you haven't discovered it, there's also R8Talk.com which is a great resource for all things R8.
Cheers
Hi Chris, where abouts are you? Just in case you haven't discovered it, there's also R8Talk.com which is a great resource for all things R8.

Not sure why you're posting here!?
It only has 500+ bhp, 2 seats, exotic looks & is relatively rare, pathetic!
Please get off & let us continue discussing McLaren depreciation & how much 'overs' to pay for a 911 gt something.2
What a rude and ignorant comment...actually it 610 bhp....if you have nothing adult to say....shut it!It only has 500+ bhp, 2 seats, exotic looks & is relatively rare, pathetic!

Worthwhile viewing if you're going be spending time on internet forums
Im VERY familiar with forums...but not knowing the person who originally posted their 'humour' makes it difficult to know how to take it...my response ... was knee jerk...so maybe both of us need to 'curb our enthusiasm?Worthwhile viewing if you're going be spending time on internet forums

Hi Val
You're dead right about the V10 being utterly different to the V8. They're chalk and cheese. I still can't make my mind up which one I prefer. The V8? A nice, quite rapid, GT car for me The V10? A fire breathing beast. Tbh I'd hate to drive a Zonda or a Koenigsegg or anything like that (well, I wouldn't of course - but you know what I mean!) because that V10 is as fast as I ever want to go.

I have owned many fast cars...the Nissan GTR35 included...and my favourite car,
untill The R8 v10 plus...what an animal! I traded in my R8 V8 Spyder for this one...no regrets there, the power of the V10 is all that I need...and then some.

Hi Val I missed it is yours a coupe or Spyder? I love them in yellow and nearly upgraded last week but couldn't justify the additional 40k plus my v10 manual spyder to trade up for a 3k a year mileage car
Hi BarrieMy new one is a coupe but my trade in was a V8 Spyder...tiptronic.

On the down side...the sun visors are as much use as a chocolate fireguard...but that is my only nit pick....apart from being a nervous wreck to leave her parked up and walk away should I take her into town 😳 and yes, I am a child parking spot thief...frequently! so sue me 😁

lovely car..think you should get the audi badge put back on the rear and have that and the R8 badge in black, I also took the audi badge off the bonnet of the gen 1 plus I had just looks cleaner without
I've modified several cars but I won't touch the R8...the designers know better than me 😊Val
