Re: R8 V10 new pics
Yeah, I agree with Kreso. New wheels look too "Pimp my Ride". But, I will definately be ordering LED Lights and MAYBE a manual this time. BUT, will wait for more info re R-Tronic gearbox. Hopefully, they have made some changes to make it a little quicker/harder.
PS: The only new options I saw thus far are the wheels, LED Lights and Sepang Blue (Apparently exclusive to V10)

Re: R8 V10 new pics
Hey WAY, just drove the R8 Manual today. I'm sorry going from an R-Tronic to Manual is like going back to 1970. Very Slow and Clunky. Hate the clicking sound.
It may be 30kgs lighter, BUT My V10 will have the R-Tronic.
Pricing hasn't been released yet in OZ, I've just been ask to place my spec ASAP with Deposit. Pricing will be available within the next few weeks after press launch.

Are you going to trade it in or sell it privately?

bz,
Gearbox is very, very personal choice on R8. IMHO R Tronic is just compromised average quality sequential manual. Gated manual is compromise as well. R8 deserved better DCT like gearbox just it will not happened...
So, R Tronic or manual? Hmm...
R Tronic is total pain-in-the-ass for parking garages since gearbox electronic is programmed by total moron. Can you imagine it, R Tronic alwasy think that you want to start fast, even at parking space. When parking your R Tronic R8 you need to hang on the brake paddle all the time. Annoying as possible IMO...
For fast driving R Tronic is not bad at all but, still it is far from perfect solution, at least for me.
If you know how to drive gated manual(and can live with clicking sound) choose manual. Otherwise you are sticked with R Tronic.
Even people who tried LP560-4 e-gear claim that it is still very far from F1 Superfast in 430 Scuderia(the best sequential manual on the market IMHO).
One other thing for R Tronic price you can get R8 manual with Ceramic brakes...
