I've seen 2 on the road, very nice looking car. One was at night and I knew from the unusual headlights what it was as it approached me from behind.

I think they are bringing out an RS version at some point, with the V10 engine from the Gallardo.

Top gear mag were over on the island last week. There was an R8, some kind of 911, an Aston and the Stig driving behind them all in an Arial Atom.

Guildford Audi is just down the road from me and I've seen about 3 or 4 on test drives.

Looks

I was chatting to my boss the other day (who is considering getting one) and he mentioned that once you've specced a few options, you're not getting any change out of 100k.

Wow.
