I have to say I do think the new R8 is a fantastic car, and I like some of the new tech they have like the virtual cockpit...very cool! But it sounds like this car is a little too refined for my tastes? I personally want my sports car to be raw, loud and rough. To me that's what gives you that feeling that you're not in an ordinary car. If the gear changes are too smooth, ride too smooth, it loses some character I think. I don't want the driving experience to resemble of S550 in anyway shape or form.
Obviously there will be some people that love that about the new R8, a beautiful fast car that you can sip on your latte and cruise around town. If someone tries to do that in my car they're paying for the interior detail lol!
But like you said, if your looking for a supercar you can use everyday this new R8 certainly fits the bill. Just boils down to what your priorities are. Congrats to your friend, it's a beast in an orange tuxedo!
