They look gorgeous in the flesh and on the road.

Nottingham Audi has a gay boy blue one in the showroom.

The V10 version is out in October, but IIRC it's not going to be an RS version. The V10 is a detuned 500bhp Gallardo engine.

Quite probably the new NSX. Some of the colours are right dodgy in the usual tradition.

Only problem is that it has that usual Audi 'severely constipated & trying to squeeze one out' looks.

I really hate the new R8. It looks fugly in the flesh. I've seen lots. it looks distended and mis-proportioned. It may well be a very capable machine, but the curves look fat, not sexy.
