how do you like it?

I heard no side blades on next Gen
But I don't see them getting rid of side blades

 

headlight looks funny with that strip. is this official?

 

yo, these are official pics, more to come.

 

some more:

 

So all R8's come with the extended V10 style blades now? I do like the seats, but it is looking a little Lambo like. I wonder what the new Gallardo seats will look like?

 

no, extended side blades are still V10 only.
but the R8GT style exhaust pipes and the S-tronic dual clutch are on all models and there is a V10-Plus model with 570HP available now.

 

look wise, i think it is disappointing. not really much improvement.

 

The changes are subtle, but I like them. Audi just made a good looking car just a bit better.

 

Good subtle changes except the circular exhaust tips. I much prefer the look of the oval ones on the last V10 or even the double ones on the V8.

Hopefully Audi has found a way to remedy their carbon buildup issues on their FSI engines as this is always a dark cloud over these cars in my head (though if you have the means an occasional cleaning probably isn't outside your budget).

 

love it especially inside Dia. stitching but hate those round exhaust tips looks to Chevy 1500 lol

 

Not that we could feel the difference, but I believe the V10 Plus is rated at 550HP.

I thought the pre-facelift R8 was clean and modern looking, and the update is properly tweaked, staying with the original design elements, and not overdoing styling changes simply for the sake of change-Porsche's Mauer could learn from Audi....

 

Did they update that old V8 to the new 4.0T yet?

 

I love Audi's approach to styling...subtle and classy. The updates always give a slight updated look, yet do not make the "old" model look old and dated.

 

yep, sorry, it´s rated at 550hp.

there will be no forced induction engines for the upcoming Gallardo successor, so i guess they have no plans to put a Turbo engine in any future R8 model as well.
but who knows....
a Turbo system maybe faster but for me: long live the NA symphony!
