Audi R8 (un-) official Pics

[Qisha]

Dear Friends,

here you can see what the R8 is going to look like when it gets to your local Dealer. It is almost 95% final:

I hope those are are not the stock rims. Kind of cheapens the car a little bit.

[Leadfoot]

Yeah, I thought the same thing, but with Audis previous efforts I doubt the real ones will be anything other than beautiful.

[Qisha]

Dear Friends,

taste is different, at least you got options.

Another teaser:

Yes Qisha, now we're talking and it links the car nicely to the TT.

[Qisha]

Indeed! One option is a turbine styled wheel, like it is also available for the TT.

I still can't belive that Audi is actualy presenting his car, history in making, indeed...

Beutifull it is...

[nene]

Wow...the wheels on the Silver one looks a lot nicer. Are they even the same wheels? Why doesn't Audi deliver something with a little lip...that drives me friggin' crazy!!!

Hey Qisha, I don't mind you using my photo at all, though I'd really be appreciative if you'd leave my site's logo on it. I spent a lot of time on that pic. Here's a larger version....




To answer the questions on this pic, those wheels are lifted directly from TT photographs. I'd started with a spy photo from Brenda Priddy that we'd bought the rights to print, and tried as best I could to make it look production ready.



And here are a few more posted by a reader over on the site.... high res of one of the Arizona cars.









all the photos we have gotten permission to reprint are here....

Also, I'll be at the reveal on Wednesday and will post all the pics and such that I'm able to as soon as I get back to the hotel.

Dear George,

received the photo from another source via E-Mail. I do not have the time to search the Internet for any pictures. But of course i feel sorry for any
Inconvenience this may have caused. As far as your concern about your logo goes, íf it would have been on it as i received it, it would have been on the one posted.

So again, thank you for your idea about the final version. It is close. And now that everyone knows who did the photoshop job, be happy with the nice people on this forum, sharing the awesome feeling about the day of the premiere.

Hi Qisha

No worries. I know how the Internet goes, that's for sure. I certainly wasn't offended, so I hope I didn't come across that way... especially as a guest on this forum.

BTW, I've promised Audi of America that I'll have coverage of the reveal event up before I go to sleep tomorrow night, so we should have the press release, press photos and event coverage. I'll make sure to cross-post a link to that before I go to bed tomorrow.

Look forward to that George. Looks like it will be a long night!
