park the two side by side and give the choice of one to a regular person- guess wich one they take home?
Chick magnet thing? Hmm...

I love R8, BUT I am not pleased with performance of my car. Few days ago I was overtaken by 997.2 Carrera S PDK. I pushed my R8 4.2 FSI as hard as possible, just I could not touch him...

When I had latest issue of Auto Bild Sportscar edition in my hands I wondered if test results of 997.2 CS are little bit overrated(0-200km/h in 14.3s!!!). Now, I know that new Carrera S PDK is that fast...

I still love R8 in both versions, but unlike most R8 fans I am aware of its(minor or not) shortcomings.
