Dear Friends,

just a fake.

@KresoF1 two is the number, you are right.

Thanks Qisha!

I saw standard items list and option list for R8 5.2FSI...

New color is Sepang Blue and there are new wheels(but, I do not like them)...

BTW, Audi IT guys could update Confugurator better since 19" Titanium wheels(code PQK) are hidden within the system! So, you can not choose them...

There is an increasing amount of these fake posters appearing, Jarod posted one for the TT/R and then there was the VW Scirocco R.

I hate this because it gets people excited with no just cause.

can someone just post a pic of the wheels? any confirmation on a paris debut? paris sounds too busy. i keep hearing rumors of the S4 and the R8 V10.

and can everyone stop fooling themselves into thinking that it will be called RS8, R10 and all that? it'll still be R8 for god's sakes.

the Q man is THE MAN.

The new LP560-4 wheels are a indication what to expect.

These ricer wheels are in ETKA for sometimes know... Design? Le Mans TDI...

Honestly, they are no match for double five spoke and you can get double five spoke in silver(standard), polished and Titanium look...

Imagine R8 5.2FSI in Monza Silver with Carbon Sigma side blades, new Carbon Sigma exterior package(front lip and rear diffusor-different then standard one) and 19" Titanium...

Some excellent pics from Fourtitude Le Mans cover to get the idea...

I'll probably get Titanium next time. They look good and don't show brake dust so much. However, ceramic breaks will help with that quite a bit also.

I hate those wheels! I love every wheel design for Gallardo except that. The stock wheels, SE wheels, Superleggera wheels are all much better fitting to the design.

so no 20 inch wheels package for the V10?

btw- the SL65 black is out. i wonder what audi will have in store as a response. they are hampered by the rear hatch design. if they could only put in a SC or turbo back there on the V10- and wider fenders- then they'd have a 650 hp spaceship......

Nothing probably. It's going to cost between $250-300K.

i assume you mean 250K USD. i'd say about right. it takes the place of the SLR but not so weird looking.

it is going to make the V10 R8 seems like a paltry deal at 140 K. (i'll take one! :))

i think this black series is basically an SL65 with a performance handling package. it should handle well. i'd love to see it pitted against the 599 GTB and GT2. i wish audi had a clubsport R8.

This new SL is still very heavy. Over 4100 lbs.
