Many say it doesn't handle as well due to the heavier engine. So possibly not...

Tidgy 19 November 2012 06:31 PM

No plans to chasnge to the V10, no. TBH it doesn't get used enough to warrant the change (cost) up.

The V10 looks the same (but wheels aren't as nice) and TBH it's quick enough for what I need it for. :thumb:

Plus Mattey's right, the V10 doesn't handle as well.....

Looks amazing, always surprised at how low they are in "real life" :thumb: careful you don't do your back in ;)

Yeah, very much still enjoying it. No plans to change, as I wouldn't know what to change to, and I've just bought a new house, so finance a bit tight.

Have you seen mega factories on sky with these getting built on it! There like tin cans

bioforger 19 November 2012 07:25 PM

hairdressers car in a fancy frock innit :)

hodgy0_2 19 November 2012 07:26 PM

love the R8,

but the pics make the lines slighlty subdued for some reason

in the flesh they are very handsome looking cars

anyway, well done - cracking car

(prob not as exciting to drive as my diesel A4, but there you go)

john banks 19 November 2012 08:41 PM

Looks amazing.

Fabioso 19 November 2012 09:01 PM

Awesome car!! I'd have one for sure.....:thumb:

Allan 19 November 2012 09:36 PM

Lovely car, they certainly have some road presence.

lol.

just a personal thing i know, never been a big fan

P1Fanatic 20 November 2012 02:42 PM

Chap at work had a white V8 and just changed to a V10 spyder also in white. Looks the nuts. Does amaze me how low & small they look in the flesh.

alloy 20 November 2012 02:50 PM

looks great and well kept......those exhaust are proper pea shooters though!

The V10's also have 2 big exhausts rather than 4 little ones and bigger air intakes. I've noticed lovely examples can now be bought for less than £45k. Absolute bargains.

urban 20 November 2012 04:50 PM

Nice car

Those pea shooters need a clean as well. It amazes me how many owners of exotic cars don't clean the pipes. I did a mates M3 the other day and it made a huge difference even with it being a white car. On black it looks even better.

Bean1984 21 November 2012 09:03 AM

Tbh these r8's are basically an audi TT with a decent engine and brakes. As much as what i hate them, that one looks very nice especially how good the paintwork is

ScoobyDoo555 21 November 2012 10:01 AM

Lovely pics - thanks for posting. Looks glossy!

Once my toy's been detailed, I'll be getting some pro-shots done (911)

I keep my BMs fairly big pipes squeaky clean but then it's only a soot chucking hearse, not a supercar... :lol1: I use Brasso...:lol1::lol1:

The TT is a Golf/A3 chassis that rolls off a robot production line.

The R8 has it's own unique chassis and is hand built. OK, some robots are involved !!

Bit like saying a 911 is a VW Beatle with a better engine and brakes. :freak3:

Matteeboy 21 November 2012 01:18 PM

I think many here just want the loaded chavs choice; a GTR.

Sod that, 911 or R8 for me please. Compact, handle beautifully, subtle(ish), very rapid in all forms.

If the latest investment works, I'm having one. If it doesn't, I will get a model of one.

Which would be a correct statement :D

R8 just reminds me of an R&B video.....and for that reason i'm out!:lol1:

stilover 21 November 2012 02:20 PM

GTR always reminds me of a computer game. That's why I didn't buy one.

I'd spend more time explaining to someone why it'll pull 0.01g more round a corner than a 911 Turbo, that I think I'd even bore myself.
