Saw this R8 at the dealership while getting serviced, now I want in the exact same spec

I spotted a gorgeous R8 at the dealership while getting my car serviced, and now I can’t stop thinking about it! The wheels are the best I’ve seen on any R8, whether in person or online. The color is perfect too. Has anyone else had this experience?

I want a BJ but I’m married with kids. :joy:

Not saying it has to be Highlighter Yellow, but plain black always strikes me as too boring for a supercar like the R8 V10. At least do something subtle but interesting like Moonlight Blue or Merlin Purple. Then again, I have a Gold Alfa now, so my preferences are clear enough haha.

Yeah, if I got one, it’d probably be in baby blue/gunmetal. Always loved that color.

Having a black S5 myself, it’s a love-hate relationship. Looks amazing clean, but gets dirty instantly and hot AF in the desert sun. Still, there’s something classy about a black Audi.

Black in aluminum/bright finish is so good though.

It may be an unpopular opinion, but the first-gen R8 was the best looking one. Just drop-dead gorgeous.

As a Gen 1 owner, I approve this message. :+1:

Baller. Always tempted to pull the trigger but can’t get rid of my RS3. Need a three-car garage soon.

I feel you lol, just got an older A4 that I absolutely love, but I’m definitely working my way up to this.

What’s the sticker price?

If you want it, now’s the time! One day it will be gone and will never be replaced. I’m assuming they want over MSRP?

Nah, the thing is I’m nowhere near being able to buy it lol. I just bought a used A4 and have just enough money to cover the monthly on it. I’m good 5-7 years out from affording an R8 at my current pace.

Same man, my dealer had one I would drool over every time I was in for service. Then one day it was gone, and I asked when they were getting another in, and they said ‘never.’ Such a sad reality check!

Are these screenshots of pictures on your phone? Wouldn’t it be easier to just post the actual pictures?

One of them is from a video I took of the car; didn’t want to post the whole video.

One of the best values in the auto market currently. These will age well over time. Get yourself one!

Yes. Get the performance model. Besides the extra HP/TQ, ceramic brakes, and better gear ratios, it has the exhaust valve control button. The euro-required particulate exhaust filter (not a US requirement but on all the latest R8s) kills the exhaust tone. Swap it out for an aftermarket valve exhaust system; it’s plug-and-play and doesn’t violate US smog rules.
