I've seen all body color, made the car look very long
the 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/showthr...p?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.

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???
I'll post up some pics of it I took at NAIAS where that CF section was in a silver tint clearly showing the CF weave. Looked just fantastic!
