Agreed!  I really had reservations about that panel when I first saw it in the concept, but I think it looks real nice. And in black, it's extra slick.  I have to admit, I haven't lusted after a car this badly in years.   :mask:

Maybe we can go 50/50 and share it.  We can tell our wives that it belongs to the other guy.  When they ask why it's over our house we'll just say the other guy has money to burn and is very generous. ;)

Now that's a great idea!  We can do an every other week deal....like a sports car time share.  I actually heard that people do that...... heh heh heh!

I'll even put the MPA (MA Police Association) sticker in the window. :devil:

Now that would be an unfair advantage. :nono:  Sounds good to me! :devil:  I suspect we would need some added legal assistance if we had a ride like that.  I can barely keep the A4 at or near posted speeds.  This thing would get me behind bars in a matter of days!

I just drooled all over my laptop at the Fourtitude link.  Holy crap - what a car!  This ceremony literally just happened in Paris today.  This really is hot off the press news!  Again, nice job Jawad!   :rockon: :rockon:

Thanks!  I snagged it to my computer, but I like the current sig - the R8 looks extra badass with the dark background and bright light flooding the street after it. I think I'll have to do a collage of them for my desktop, temporarily deleting my smiling children who have graced the screen for long enough! :lol:

I'm still getting used to the insect-looking front, but the rest of it is stunning.

Any word on pricing?

Pictures are worth a thousand words.

That said, probably a lot of money.

But the pictures are free.

They're real tight-lipped about it, but I imagine it's gotta be in the $120 - $130 k range.  That would slot it right at the Porsche 911 Turbo range.  Maybe its semi-supercar status would boost it higher, but hell, a 911 Turbo is a semi-super car too.  Raza, maybe your 1/3 1/3 1/3 offer isn't so bad! :lol:

Honestly, I am not really attracted to it. Audi has some lovely cars in their lineup, but the new TT and this simply don't speak to me. Sorry Audi guys.

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.

And y've seen exactrly how many on the road?

Seriously, this era of instant gratification has produced kiddies that are mentally incapable of waiting the time it takes to produce stuff, without becoming insulting of it.

Just because you have the attention span of a gnat is not the manufacturer's problem.
Like a fine Detroit wine, this vehicle has aged to budgetary perfection...

I'm not liking it.  It looks too much like someone else's Quattro...
