.............I love it!

I really like the looks except for that awful black panel behind the front door.

I agree, otherwise, it would look fabulous :cool:

The entire body is carbon fiber. That is the unpainted body.
I've seen all body color, made the car look very long

add me to the list, that's why black is the best color for that car :D

IMO that carbon fiber panel is what makes the car stand out. Its defining characteristic. Without it, it looks rather bland. Well bland is a little harsh, but the car becomes nothing special in my eyes. Might as well get a TT if you like the monotone look.

I agree, the Carbon Fiber gives it the character. I think I'm still drooling...

Nice videos! Great find! :thumbup:

Here's another one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEAijWM_mLw&eurl=

Not a bad looking car but it wouldn't be on the top of my list in that price range.

Wow, oh wow. That winding road video had me going. :woohoo:

And I see that side panel can be had in something other than black CF - maybe aluminum!?

This one looked HAWT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Car's a bit louder than I think it should be, but man, looks REALLY fast, flat, no wheelspin due to AWD... incredible.

LF-A design maybe too OTT compared to this.

Can you say PERFECT wheels/tires/fitment AGAIN from Audi??? :agreed:

I like the dark grey one the best :cool:

Here's what a serious Corvette enthusiast/editor had to say about the Audi R8:

I've seen all body color, made the car look very longthe entire body is not carbon fiber. That one body pannel is CF.

Anyway here is a link to a R8 forum with a nice article about the R8 as well as a comparison the the 911S --->>http://www.r8talk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=398&page=2

Red is nice, but I'd take a black or white one myself.

Also, add me to the list of people that like the side blades. I think it adds distinction.
