Love the R8. And the RS4 (which donates its engine).

Would have one over a C4S, any day...

My opinion on the top brand German cars (For what it's worth)
Never had you down as an Asian.

Nice little video here of an R8 vs Carerra 4S.

Performance and handling apart, the one thing that stands out is how outdated the Porsche's styling looks when sat next to the R8.
I see they have picked the slowest 911 available, see how it gets on against a gt3 or Turbo .

When you actually learn to read Jamie, you will see that in my original post I specifically said performance and handling apart.

Of course you could just be up for a bit of shit stirring.

I don't like the R8

The carbon fibre is pure Halfords

Looks like the sort of car a successful estate agent would own (bigger TT)

And aimed at people that like Executive new builds and Bang and Olufsen

Likely to take the poseur mantle from Porsche owners too

I like these, I noticed a fella had a new one in my local town, he was cruising about in it deliberately jumping from sections of the town.

But to his dismay a chap in a f430 parked up the road.

You should of seen the guys face, as everyone was looking at the f430 and taking pics, classic.

Still id have both!, but the 430 would be my top choice.
