I like it. Does this thing also comes with a proper manual gearbox?

I like it! Is it possible to get rid of that silver stripe? I think it would look better all one colour.

Man the Needler is nuts...

I'm not a very big fan of the thing, but it does have a great engine.

That is a sharp looking car.

I agree the stripe would look better painted, I'm sure a lot will do just that.

I did hear on the Top Gear video that it does come in a normal standard transmission or an E-gear type trans for 5,000pounds.

This is avaible in DSG and a manual gear box.

The stripe can be painted body color, aluminum, and carbon fiber.

The R8 will be availble with the Gallardo's V10 in the future, it will feature a wider side vent, and some different skirts.

Two more pictures... from what I've heard, these things certainly know how to grab attention! I think they look sooooo damn good... from what I've seen, brighter colors look the best; especialy red.

Its no lamborghini, but by far the best daily driver out there in my opinion.

I agree. I m in love with this car. I used to think that the new M3 would be a better car then this one, but this one is like sex on wheels . Looks amazing. How much is Audi selling one of these?
