No.

TBH they look good on the R8. Problem is, is that they'll soon be optional on every bl00dy Audi.

What engine does it have?

RS4,
Gallardo V10 (if it sounds as good as in my mates Gallardo, it's fantastic),
or the new V12 diesel (500bhp / 1000Nm torque) - mighty impressed if it's one of those.

I wondered what might have replaced the RS4.

A worthy successor.

As nice a car as the R8 is, those lights (and on the A5) look like someone has jizzed all over it and given it a pearl necklace.
