Stunning looking car, whats more amazing is the $120k as were looking at around the same numbers but in ???'s when it's avaliable in the UK 
I'd cerainly buy it ahead of several other cars in that range, 911 being one.

R8 v GT3, Sabine vs The Stig:
By the way, the GT3 on test here is a little crumpled as Clarkson managed to run it off track earlier in the Top Gear review...!

Love the R8, but the GT3 is the better car.

This car is gorgeous from every angle and perspective............ Audi have really upped their game . I really like a lot of what I'm seeing from them.......... it's good for the whole cataegory. I'ld love to see BMW launch a counter to this and exit the Z4.

Oh I love the R8! I saw one 2 days ago driving past my neighborhood... my neighborhood DOES NOT drive R8s... I have no idea who's it is... I was shocked it followed me off the freeway and drove right into my neighborhood...
Come to think of it I've seen a Maserati MC12 drive down a local street and other Maserati's and seen one or two RR Phantoms and a Maybach... but they're RARE...... I bet they're driving to the city north of me... so they just happened to pass by....
