    White R8

    I saw this R8 today at the local Audi dealer. The car looks very good in white.
    There was also one mettalic black and a flat black R8

    I tend to disagree! It looks great in white
    I guess beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.

    I beg to defer. White with carbon side blades look sensational! Here is one I saw in Beijing 6 months ago...

    Re: White R8

    I much prefer it with the carbon sideblades. The very fact that the designers incorporated the contrasting blade option suggests they to feel the car looks better with them.

    Re: White R8

    There's a neighbour with the exact combination, and carbon sideblades, I have to say it suits the car PERFECTLY, no matter if it has black sideblades or not, I have seen it two times already in less than 2 weeks, and I've nearly crashed or gone out the driving lines while looking at it....He always goes with the led lights , no matter if its at day or night, he is a poser ....Oh and by the way, he is not a "he" is a "SHE" NOT KIDDING!!!

    If its driving sensations are as good as its looks, I'm completely sold!

    Doesn't look right without a contrasting blade, i.e. the carbon..

    Re: White R8

    The white with a carbon blade is on display in an autohaus in Zagreb.
    It looks fabulous!
    Although the door knob striked me as a bit fragile...

    Looks like you took my advice to go to the audi forum in Wan Fu Jing in Beijing

    I remember seeing that car, the white with carbon side blades was AMAZING.
