    R8 factory visit yesterday

    I cna tell you that AUDI In Neckursalm is starting to produce some V10 R8s...

    I visited the factory yesterday and the R8 bodyshop and assembly line. ther was a red V10 just finsihed, adn another one on the assembly line.

    I asked the chief guy there: "SO you already started making them", adn thez answer was "yes, but you have seen nothing of course"....

    its exactly how we've seen it on other pics...front bumper modified, adn side outelt bigger. exhaust outlets are oval.

    apart from that, nothing else looks different. interior seast are identical (or look like it)... they could have decided to place the bucket seats at least....

    this definatley means that the official commercialization is coming soon for sure... there was one inside the factory in a parking lot and another one parked close to a admin building... so this measn I saw at least 4 of them yesterday...

    realizing they make 28 R8s a day outof which 2 where in the assembly line.... not a bad proportion....

    Bucket seats are optional for both R8 and R8 V10.

    How about just saying somewhere in America and call it do.
    Search and you will find the truth.
