chilli Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I was behind an Audi today, thought it looked a bit different and it had a distinctive sound so I looked it up, think it was one of these http://www.leftlanenews.com/audi-r8-2007-2008.html recognisable by the distintive rear lights quite a car by the looks of it!

hogmaw Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Looks superb. They must be quite rare, only just become available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilli Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 I guess yeah, I've never seen or heard of one before, looks nice doesn't it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Are these available yet? I ask because the other day I drove up my fave uphill drag. I had to pass one car and then it was all mine. As I was going up I had a look back and I saw a car take about five cars that had been behind me and it really closed the gap. We turned off with me thinking it was a TT but it looked too big and that back end (from the side) looked like those pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 didn't realise you could actually buy these now. a quick google shows the prices start at over £75k though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli Posted March 12, 2007 Author Share Posted March 12, 2007 fair enough, must have just come out then pretty recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I've just looked at the Audi site. The R8 appears not to have the very low mounted front spots. Which probably means I was impressed with a TT! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Which probably means I was impressed with a TT! Nothing to be ashamed of, it's a handsome machine in it's current form, just a shame it's going to be everywhere and driven by morons.

Pot Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 There's a black one who parks in the underground carpark where I work, right by my spot... Does anyone know (Before I go off to search and end up googling tits) if they have adjustable suspension for speedhumps?... As we've got such a sharp drop into the car park I've held back from putting an aftermarket front bumper on, as if I forgot to put my active spoiler back up (That I had on a switch), it'd grind like buggery... If they don't, then I'll just measure the angle from the bottom of the tyre to the front of his bumper and work it out on the Sup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Seen a few of these around now and I get a semi every time, gorgeous cars. Always seem to be in and around towns though so never seen one giving it beans unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Just saw one of these earlier OTR in white http://i252.photobucket.com/albums/hh29/codet68/AudiR8white.jpg Lovely arent they?! Well i start with Audi on Saturday but officially on Monday and i have seen a few parked at Colbournes Audi in basingstoke... Im ashamed to say it but when my Supe was parked next to the R8, the R8 looked better... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supra_aero Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Nothing to be ashamed of, it's a handsome machine in it's current form, just a shame it's going to be everywhere and driven by morons. I agree and reckon it'll become like an audi tt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I agree and reckon it'll become like an audi tt Except Michael was actually talking about a TT not an R8 At the price the R8 is its likely to stay a fairly rare supercar for a while.
