redbaron Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Heading back from Le Mans on Monday morning I saw this R8 come up behind me and overtake me on the autoroute. Fortunately there were toll booths ahead so I was able to catch up and get a pic. Given that I was driving a GTi (according to some on this forum the fastest car in the world no less) I decided to give chase. Oops. Seems that some of you have been lying - the GTi is not the fastest car in the world. Still the R8 sounds very good, and you certainly notice those LED running lights in your rear view mirror! I want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_C Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 That's the car that was at the Audi campsite - pictures in the gallery. It had been driven down from MK especially for the event. People were swarming around it like flies, wanting to sit in it (myself included!) Once inside I almost had to be dragged out - what a car. The attention to detail on it is simply staggering. I'd like one too (in silver of course ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techieboy Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 Spotted another one today on the A50 just outside Stoke on Trent - black with a carbon (I think) blade. Was on an OY07 plate as well. Sounded great as he booted it on the other carrigeway whilst I was sat in a 20 mile jam. Lovely!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domus Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 A black one went past me on the Autobahn on Saturday, I was going to the Ring from Oberwesal in the MX-5. Saw the tell tale LEDs in the mirror, pulled in at 100+ and was blown away. Magnificent sight. I too want one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arg123 Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Saw a silver one broken-down just outside Aachen on the A44. Two disgruntled blokes, arms folded, were standing other side of the barrier waiting for the German equivalent of the AA/Audi service Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
