Congrats Mike!
Brilliant Red with Carbon Sigma blades? Nice.
Polished 19". Not my cup of tea, but they look good I must admit.
BTW, normal sport seats? Tell me why you did not go for Buckets like on your V8?

because the bucket seats are not really bucket seats, the look nice but will not give you that much more side stabilization. I will mount some real bucket seat from OMP or Sabelt or Recaro........

I agree with you. Also for the upcharge you loose side airbags. That not a big deal-just for example on Porsche Buckets you get side airbags as well.

Great looking ride - it looks so much better in red with carbon sigma sideblades :applause: (as red all over)
And - although i get used to the V10 wheels - still prefer the V8 ones :dig:
Looks forward to more pics and reports :cheers:

Congrats Mike!
Nice colour! We are waiting for more pics. I think 19" Titanium will be better for that colour combination, but that is only my opinion.

Why you picked a red one?
But nevertheless, great car! :R8:

Why you picked a red one?
guess why .........right because i like it and i have experienced something else.....
if you have a R8, for example, in the standard colors, like black, white or daytona, you really will enjoy the moment when you like to sell the car......you are one of a 100 in this colors........my green one was gone in one ( 1 ) day.
If someone is looking for something different......I do know a guy, he got a yellow R8 V8 gone in 3 days.........
@all, thanks
as soon as I will have time i will post a small report.......and make some better pictures, but what i can tell you.......after driving the car home, with max 80km/h in the rain for 20km on sunday night, you feel that the Audi boys had 2 years of feedback and customer based research....it feels different and they have modified quite some things on the car......all the details will follow.......soon

Ho would tell... I tought that this 5.2 is going to be some symphony on the wheels...
Any how, I presume that ride is on the upper level.
