    Nice. For some reason I prefer the seats in the Gallardo over the R8. Having said that of course I really do fancy an R8 and cannot wait for all the video's and reviews to start appearing.

    What is interesting to me is just how tall and un-super car like the R8 is when put next to the Gallardo! It is more akin to a 911.

    I would take the R8 for its daily-usability.

    That side-by-side pic reminds me how much I hate the R8 front bumper. It just looks awful. It looks as bad as the F430 front bumper, if not worse.

    Love the R8's threatening " raptor " shaped eyes. Lambo's vertical trapezoid lights remind me of the recent Cadillac line and is so " French " like that nation's past cars and some current Renault and Nissan products - not animalistic - just architectural.

    Thank you Kreso

    Are these the optional "race" seats?

    Re: R8 vs Gallardo-pictures from Auto Zeitung

    Yes, these are optional bucket seats but, sorry to say this only for Europe and rest of the world... NOT for USA .
    Why? No side bags in buckets so, restrictions in USA regulations(same thing as RS4 situation).

    BTW, Ceramic Brakes and Corsa tires will be optional as well but, again not for first production run cars.

    Yup, standard RS4 seats here too! Mike S, is yours a active seat as well? That is standard here too. The first time I drove that car, I thought I was going to suffocate in sports mode.

    Regarding the fact that the Gallardo's stance looks quite impressive, I am curious to see the R8 in an - European - urban surrounding. Admittedly it has the ability to be used daily but its visual presence would make it much to striking for me..
