Incoming

So after months of not making my mind up and getting annoyed at mad car prices, I have taken the plunge and bought something that isn't a Porsche but is German.

3K Miles
V10 Plus
All the bits
Red

Not mine yet, but deal done yesterday and should collect this week/weekend. Will add more when I have time and forgive the self congratulatory incoming thread, but it's been emotional....though I appreciate this now makes 2 of these on this forum, but mine is better (IT JUST IS!!).

Needs more wheel arches. And lowering.

It needs dice, but the rest no.

Red car wins

That is awesome in seriousness, I love that sort of colour on most cars and I don't think I've ever seen an R8 in it

Very nice.

Blackhawk will be pleased!

V10 - nice one. Clack clack or flap flap?

After my last Audi rolling road disaster (377bhp) in the RS4, I won't be putting this on the rollers but having said that, it does feel 550PS this time....and then some.

I remember when Housey was cool.

Always flirting with the idea of swapping my DB9 for an R8 but just seems too "wedding hire-y" to me.

S-Tronic, so not the utter **** R-Tronic.

Brilliant box and frankly I am getting lazy.

As a big Porsche fan, how's it like to drive?

Diddums · 20 Apr 2016 at 13:06

It's not GT3 sharp, few cars are and I have only driven 50 miles in it on a road test and don't have the car yet, but it was sharper than I recall them. It is very much quicker than the V8, massively so and being a PS it is lower, stiffer, with more feelsome steering but need time in the car to provide any meaningful comparison.
