My Audi R8 V8

And here it is. Got the delivery today.
It's a 2008 R8 V8 with around 70.000km. on the clock.
It's in perfect mechanical condition and the exterior looks perfect too.
There are some little scratches in the interior but what can one expect for about 50k.
The car has been serviced and we found not a single problem on it. It's missing one of the badges on the engine cover but since I'm an Audi hater that's more like a bonus for me :D
Great deal for me and it's exactly what I want. I'll track the car and will at first do an APR ECU tune and it might turn out to be my first tuning project. I can handle the car's maintenance easily as it's German and I have enough parts on stock to build a second R8. It's going to be a daily, track, night clubs, weekends car... anything but a family car :D
Ahh and here are some crappy pictures with fcuked up textures as re-sizing wasn't their thing... obviously:

If you want more pictures just let me know. I don't have time to post the interior now but will sure do if you want... there's something in it I'm ashamed to share with people :oops:

Here we go:
Same case with my last car... the deal was too good to just walk away :(
90% of the cars I found were R-tronic and this one was in great shape and really cheap.
I couldn't sleep last night as I was both happy and had so many doubts about the transmission but it's too late now.

The story behind me owning an Audi goes like that:

Back in 2011 I was still driving my LP560-4 yet I started seeing R8s everywhere and every time I saw one on the street I was feeling really jealous and had the stupid desire to own both the Lambo and the R8... I already knew I'll be owning one some day. Actually I like the car so much that I took one with AT instead of a brand new manual Cayman S or a 2nd hand GTR. From that bunch it is the cheapest yet the most desired... a win-win situation. Not being a manual is bugging me a lot tho...

It has the perfect seats for a daily supercar and I do like the color combo too:

Oh bite me. If you are ashamed of it - you don't mention it. Now that you mentioned it, you have to show it. Period.

;) :D


Ok, pictures are coming anytime soon.

@Gianclaudio: Yes, I'll have to change you with something fit and handsome :D

@donkeykong: Yes, it's exactly a toy as it's coming only a couple of days after the Day of children :)
 
Don't tell me it's an R tronic?

I'll try to update the first post with the new pictures I'll be posting if any.
 
I see a love hate relaetionship brewing with that interior:LOL: . All joking aside how are you getting along with the R-tronic so far?

I haven't driven the car much. From my previous experience it's hmmm... OK! It's not a bad transmission and it's good for what it is. I'm glad that it has a gear lever unlike my Gallardo :) A manual would have been perfect but then again I'll at least have both my hands on the steering wheel and be able to set some amazing track times with this car :)
This time around I won't be scared to death not to scratch my ultra-expensive LP bumper... it will be a car I can afford to push closer to it's limits and give myself and the passengers the smile we deserve :)
