BTW, it looks pretty good.  It's very true to the concept.  Lots of black plastic going on there though.

Well I am a little surprised that people don't post much in the way of news around here.  But I don't mind doing it on my own.

Hey, we're not complaining.  In fact, it's greatly appreciated.  Keep up the good work. :clap:

The R8?!  Really?  Haven't been seeing pics just like this for the past couple years or anything!  Honestly...I'm bored of this car.  They shoulda produced it a long time ago.  It's boring now.

It's so beautiful I think I'm going to cry.

This might replace the RS2 as my dream car.

I'm already crying!  Damn, they pulled it off, IMO.  I saw a few early guesstimates that looked a little funky.  The funk is gone - this thing is stunning. :rockon:

BTW can anyone get a larger version of that picture? I want it as my background but running 1024x768 :banghead:

Looking at it again, the front wheel needs pushed out about 1-2inches.

"Two transmissions are available: a manual 6-speed gearbox or optionally the Audi R tronic sequential-shift gearbox. Here, too, the influence of the motorsport world is clearly evident, with a joystick gear-shift on the centre console and, most especially, the paddles mounted on the steering wheel, which are a long-established ergonomic feature in motorsport. The best illustration of this is once again the Le Mans winning Audi R8, which also enables the driver to change gear on the steering wheel."

Thank goodness it's not a BMW.

And thanks Jawad - you get the scoops out there.  We should all do a little more of that!

Thanks, Greg!  I think it looks mighty fine!  At least until I get a chance to do something a little more artistic with my own ride! :lol:

At the risk of being an Audi troll :lol: I was thinking of the Audi rings.  I grabbed the front end shot of the R8 for now, but it really is too small to endure that much detail.  Hey, I appreciate the help.  (Especially since you already know of my (lack of) technical skills!)
