I saw my first R8 in the wild last night on Boylston St. All I have to say is...

WOW.. gorgeous! It was black w/ the carbon side pieces. My wife and I were standing in front of Abe & Louies waiting for them to bring our truck up and I heard it coming down the street. She just looked at me and said "wow, that's beautiful.. what is it?" I told her it was the new Audi... she was very impressed. What a good wife!

"That's an Audi R8, my next Audi." =)))

FinallyS5 · 09-30-2007, 08:12 AM

Not sure if its owned yet, or if they are driving it around the hot spots advertising?

JamieO · 09-30-2007, 03:43 PM

not too sure though.

JamieO · 09-30-2007, 03:45 PM

if the finances are there in a year or two I don't think she'd have a problem with it! On the other hand, I was talking w/ my father today, I told him that I saw one and his response was "I should sell the Porsche and buy one of those". That would be even better, I'd be out $0 and I'd still get to use one!

A4AdMan · 09-30-2007, 05:22 PM

that happening.

I searched the RMV and there's only one R8 currently registered in the state. Belongs to the Otto Club of Boston. By comparison, there are TWO 599GTBs registered at the moment. Very exclusive, the R8.

and a friend of mine was at IRA a week or so ago and they had an R8 out back that was getting ready to get delivered, apparently the owner had just come in to pay for it that day. I don't believe it was the one for the Otto Club though so there might be more than one now (or at least there will be soon)!

Either way, it is very exclusive... even if there were 50 of them registered in the state!

Yep, George Maria at Ira Audi sold it to the guy...Phantom black,for $30,000 a year you should join, it's not a bad deal if you figure out the dollars and sense of owning a couple exotics....Great car, a bit underpowered, but looks and sounds fantastic...

I have a better shot at buying one of your S4's than that happening. __________________ 2002 3.0 Quattro \| Dolphin Grey \| Platinum \| Premium \| Xenon \| Heated Seats \| Owner since June 29, 2002 What I've done to it: Limited Edition 25th Anniversary S4 18" Wheels \| Milltek Exhaust \| H-Sport S4 Sway Bars \| Bilstein Sport Shocks \| Eibach Pro Kit Springs \| S4 Front Bumper \| S4 Upper and Lower Grilles \| S4 Polished Aluminum Mirrors \| S4 Door Blades \| S4 Replica Spoiler \| Zimmerman Rotors \| Hawk HPS Pads \| 3M Carbon Black 50% Tint \| Hoen H-11 Xeonmatch Fog Bulbs \| Tinted Side Markers Miles: 98,500 B6 A4 3.0 AudiWorld Member Database
