Lightweight R8 Spyder

 

[Parisien]

Enz....how could you.....I mean........its not even got the slightest of hints of anything Italian about it..........ok...the wheels are round and its called a Spyder....but thats about it.........

[ENZ525]

I know P...I feel a bit like a traitor, but can't help it...am drawn to this
and doesn't it have an Italian 5.2L V10

 

[Parisien]

...still Enz...........it looks German, sounds German, smells German......ergo its..................................






P

 

[ENZ525]

Even so P...have been up close to a couple lately...starting to tickle my fancy

(That's after I scratch the DB9 itch!)

 

[Parisien]

Enz...after seeing the beauty that is your QP...........this Audi thingie aint no thing of beauty.......IMHO.....but....everyones got different taste.

[ENZ525]

I Agree with you P, the R8 is not a thing of beauty in my eyes either...

 

[2b1ask1]

You might order it in the Audi dealers..... but you'd find yourself asking them to put the Lambo body on it!!!!

I know I would....

 

[Andyk]

Enzo...I like it......The soft top is a very good looking car.......Not sure about the rear wing but I like the idea of a lightweight version......But...and its a big but...185k.....I would have a QP GT S and used Aston Vantage V12 for that sort of money I think....

 

[Parisien]

185K?...................................................you must be joking........for some German Kraftwerk..........tell me am having a nightmare....

No you are fully awake Frank....

 

[GransportFan1]

I am sorry Enz, i thought you had style, that R8 has more trinkets on it than a council house christmas tree.

That's funny....like that Adam....

 

[GransportFan1]

I really like that saying, so true to life.

 

[dem maser]

If that was a merc you would love it though......

 

[GransportFan1]

No i wouldn't Dem, dont like all Merc's Dem, think they make some pointless cars such as the GL, B Class and R Class, all horrid. Only really like the CLK Black Series, CLK DTM and C63.

 

[BennyD]

Adam, I'm surprised at you. CLK black and DTM are far too chavvy. Clarkson had a black and he has no idea at all! As for the C63, bollox, I'd much rather have an M3.

Adam, wouldn't say they are not pointless as they make sense to some...well most actually........If anything is pointless its the AMG Black series and CLK DTM, plus all other of these type cars...........In this day an age these sort of cars that do sod all MPG and ones that do 180/200 mph are pointless........BUT....and its a big BUT,,,,We love them because of their excess and pleasure they give us even if we are not hitiing 0-60 in 4 seconds and 200 MPH...But to most people in this world they make no sense at all....

Well said Benny...You speak they truth oh wise one..........................Welcome to the Dem and Andy club...

 

[Andyk]

Wouldn't have an R8 and there is just not enough passion in the way iy drives......But there is no getting away that it is a very good looking car and has loads of road pressence. A great design that will age very well.....
