...remembered I had a camera on my phone, in Santa Monica today...







had "manufacturer plate", sounded amazing...
I was working on a movie a few months ago that's supposed to come out in the summer of 2008 and the lead character in the movie had a silver R8, among some other exotics. I saw the R8 everyday on the soundstage for more than a month and I have to say that it looked great.......both in and out. It was silver with the carbon fiber "sideblade" (the panel behind the door). There was one real functioning R8 and two other "stunt doubles" that did not have an engine in them and had a fake painted carbon fiber sideblade. By the end of the shoot they had pretty much destroyed the latter two. I saw them with collapsed roofs, etc.

In one of the scenes they had to start the R8 and drive away fast....tire burnout and all. The exhaust did sound very nice.

I also liked the little white LED's that followed the contour of the lower edge of the headlights.
