Default Sad day... kind of

Sold the T for this 17 R8 v10 plus with 7k miles. The T was a special driver’s car but I didnt end up dailying it as intended. This one fit the weekend warrior bill a bit better. I honestly didnt expect the R8 to be so fun to drive, felt much better than the TTS and NSX i test drove. Close to a gt3 in terms of rawness and completely ballistic in a straight line. Like the GT3 and TTS had a baby

I've always liked Audi's, especially the R8. Might look for a nice Spyder some day.

Wow, didn't see that coming! Looks awesome. Would agree that as a weekend fun car this is more of an experience. Enjoy my friend

Congrats.
Gorgeous car. One of my all time favorites.
The interior design / quality blows the 991 away.

Say it ain't so!

Your posts will be missed around here. I hope you enjoy your car in good health and keep your boner down when you hear that v10 screaming... You're an exhaust away from having the ultimate cure to erectile dysfunction!!

Thanks y’all!!! You made my day
Ill be stalking the 911 forums for sure every time I need to ameliorate the P car withdrawal
I look forward to continue reading owner experiences and shennanigans.
Unfortunately wont be modding the R8 that much, just black trim kit and ps4s tires since these are shot.

A fine machine, for sure! Sweet!

Hope to see it soon after we return to Chicagoland. We are back in Orlando now, very busy after buying a.Home, and getting our townhome here ready to list. Hope to be back sometime in August.

Porsche should rebadge those as Porsches, as Porsche runs the engineering, like they do at Lambo.

Default nice ride !

And probably the easiest car to drive fast on a track i have ever tried. The quattro system is really still amazing.

Sweet car, can only imagine what the motor sounds like! Worth the price of admission!
Many happy miles ahead!

Thanks guys. The V10 sounds like it ate my T for breakfast, but the tuned T is a serious machine. This has less tq and feels like a momentum car on steroids. Totally different experience. I am also finding that “porsche tax” is real! This thing actually has cheaper insurance and audi dealers charge less for service. I also got this thing warrantied 6 extra years/60k miles for 3600 which is stupid cheap for a supercar
Will make sure to post vids soon but the next couple weeks are crazy at work
