Default Re: Audi R8

I understand that the waiting list is considerable and there will be a huge premium if you want one quickly. I managed five minutes in the driver's seat of a prototype last Summer, although the car was full of telemetry gizmos it did seem very well put together. It looked pretty good in bright red and the carbon side panels can be specified in body colour, can't see the point of them as shown and I agree that the current crop of AUDI grilles are rather heavy-handed.
I'm told that Clarkson purposely broke part of the interior of a Bentley Continental GT which he had on test and also trashed the brakes after repeated emergency stops from 150 mph, he then complained about the brakes feeling soft afterwards! Nuff said.
