Default Ooo ah. The steering wheel with the F1-style buttons is hilarious though. "Pit" ?? What's that?

Gorgeous car.

Being effectively a "road legal" R8 they clearly have left bits on that are not strictly necessary. The "Pit" button will probably perform one of two functions. Either to call the pit crew on the radio or more likely to activate the speed limiter to prevent speeding in the pit lane

Re: "Pit?" That's the homelink garage door opener. ;-)

Does this one get the fat off the nose enough for you?

Default Is that really an R8 under there? They did a nice job making it look like a street car.

Can't say the same about the Ferrari Enzo; which looks pretty much like an F1 car with a roof.

Default I think it more likely that it's a showey cruise control set-button or some such...

...perhaps the OnStar call button?

Is it really a road legal R8? I'd have guessed it was sharing some variation of the Gallardo engine, which is a road-car engine. Guess I'd better read some of the on-line articles on about the LeMans.

In any case, it sure would be a different beast than the '66 Pontiac LeMans that my parents drove when I was a youngin'!
