Spotted this on the TV the other day. I really really like the look of this motor

Anyone else have an opinion on it?

Hated it until I saw one at Le Mans this summer where I fell in love. Trying to persuade my housemate to buy one as a sensible alternative to a Galardo/AMV8.

I've seen a fair few of them around, and I really like it in black, not fond of the silver/white ones though.

Saw one today as it drove pass me, i was walking along and it went by in first gear. For a sports car it was really quiet, can't hear the engine at all, at least not above other cars on the road.

theres a couple of these that pass me on my route to work a few times a week - gotta say they're a grower!

I love Audis
RS4, RS6, S3, R8

they're everywhere in sheffield :|

I saw a couple in the flesh quite a few months ago - they sound/look fantastic IMO. Top Gear have since reviewed it and it is pretty awesome

Wish I had the cash for one...

supposedly a great car but damn ugly

I love the looks...apart from the strip up the side behind the doors. Not sure what it's there for but it just doesn't seem to look right. Can be hidden fairly well with the right colour coding though.
