R8 V10 Owner - Introduction & Pictures

Just wanted to introduce myself to everyone. Found out about this site from Bill (CGT-N-IT). I already recognize some members here from other forums (I won't mention forum names). The place is great and seems to have very friendly, knowledgeable members. I'm from the Boca Raton area (South Florida) and I'm always looking for another reason to take out the R8 (it is my daily driver, lol). Anyway, here is some info and pictures of my 2010 Audi R8 5.2. Just some background info, the car is Ibis White with a Black interior. It is an Audi Exclusive R8 and has some pretty cool extras. The seats have the alcantara inserts and the car still has the extended leather option. All the plastic pieces are wrapped in leather. It has a bunch of MAcarbon pieces like the emergency brake lever, shift knob, radio surround and ashtray cover. It has a custom alcantara wrapped steering wheel as well. The car has the carbon fiber side blade with the carbon fiber mirrors, carbon fiber front splitter and carbon fiber rear diffuser. It has 20" Avus Racing wheels (1 of 5 sets in the world) wrapped in Michelin PS2 tires. All the emblems on the car have been painted gloss black and the "R" has been painted Scuderia Red. The brake calipers have also been painted Scuderia Red with a black R8 stamp. The engine cover has been painted Scuderia Red. The car has a Quicksilver Titanium exhaust system installed with the tips painted gloss black. To top it off, it has a clear bra on the entire front end, side blades and mirrors. I think that covers everything. Enjoy the pictures. I absolutely love this thing! These are some pictures from when I first got it. The car has since been tinted.

Oh yeah, here is my old one. This is what happens when teenage girls do not obey stop signs.

Welcome! I miss my R8 at times, such an awesome car.

Thank you! I'm gonna take a shot and say you are Robert? I have tried messaging you a couple times to get a group together down here in South Florida. Lol!

Nice R8 and welcome- you'll love it here and soon abandon all other forums in due time! Is that your GT3? How does the R8 compare?

Thank you! Actually, that is my good friends 911 in Tampa. I just moved back down to Boca from up there. My other car is a heavily modified GTR.

Welcome aboard. Great looking ride

Thank you, Flying Lap. Appreciate it!

Nice car! I'm picking one up within next month as well! I though I saw your car yesterday but I then realized you had a red emblem so it must have been another one

Congrats on the car! Excellent choice in color.

Beautiful car. Your interior looks fantastic....

I'm on vacation here in Miami Please give me a ride in it since I have never been in a V10 coupe and I will order one without ever driving one, LOL!

Car looks great, welcome to the forum! Post pics of the GTR.

welcome! your car looks sick in person! lets try to meet up for the april 14th MIA run.

and lets see some pics of that GTR. we have a bunch of R8, GTR, & Lambo lovers here.

Most important we have some great members here on LP and once your in, you are family

Welcome to the site. Ya, some are friendly, some not so much...

 

Very nice set of cars! I was going to buy an R8 prior to the LP560 but all the pricks on LP persuaded me otherwise, lol. The GTR is awesome as well! Congrats on the nice rides.

Beautiful ride! Welcome.

 

Thanks!

 

Welcome!

 

 

 

Isn't that a GT2?

 

Thank you and it is actually a 997 Carrera S with a full GT2 kit. It is even more gorgeous in person.

 

 

Congrats on the car! Excellent choice in color.

 

Thank you! I have always wanted a white on black R8. This time around I was not going to be persuaded otherwise.

 

 

Beautiful car. Your interior looks fantastic....

 

Thanks! I love the interior on this one. So much better than my previous R8.

Haha! When are you in town until? We may be able to arrange something. Lol!

 

Car looks great, welcome to the forum! Post pics of the GTR.

 

Thanks! It's good to be here. I will definitely post some pics of the GTR. Unfortunately, it is like the unloved step-child. Haha! My R8 gets driven everyday and sees much more love than my GTR.

Thanks Bill! Appreciate the kind words, but your car is really something special! Honestly one of the nicest CGTs I have ever seen. I'm definitely going to try and make the April 14th run. It would be a real blast! It's funny how many R8 owners seem to have GTRs too! Glad this is such a great community! Real happy to mentioned it when we met.

Thank you! Everyone seems to be real great here....so far...lol! A couple people tried to persuade me towards an LP when I was purchasing my R8, but I decided the R8 was a bit more practical for everyday use. I will try to get some pics of the GTR so you guys can see it. Appreciate all the kind words!

Welcome to LP. I love my R8 V10--awesome all around car. Yours looks great....enjoy!!!

Welcome to LP. Your R8 looks great...major props on a getting a proper 6-speed, too. Would love to add an R8 as a general purpose, all-around daily car.

Haha! When are you in town until? We may be able to arrange something. Lol!

 

Untill Sunday, would be awesome and kind of you?!

Thank you! It definitely is a great car from all aspects! I have been enjoying mine since I got it as I'm sure you have been enjoying yours!

Thanks! I could only do the 6-speed manual. I mean it is even gated! Such a blast shifting through all the gears! It truly is the perfect, daily drivable exotic.

 

 

Untill Sunday, would be awesome and kind of you?!

 

I will see what I can do. Miami is not the closest, but I do find myself down there from time to time.

how does your R8 compare to your GTR? DD ability, launch, fun factor, roll on power, etc....

My R8 and my GTR are very different. The GTR has so many mods and is ridiculously fast. It has 700+ hp. The GTR is not really daily drivable just because of the fumes. It is a real animal on the road though. Almost nothing touches it. The power is always there and is endless. The R8 is an absolute blast to drive everyday. It is comfortable, fast and fun as hell!
