Audi R8 real pics

My friend found this Audi R8 driving around North Seattle 3 weeks ago. The R8 was driven by 2 Motor Trend journalists, they just had a road trip from LA to Vancou, BC. They stayed at Holiday Inn Aurora Ave N for a night. It's very dirty but anyway here are the pics...

Nice catch! I really like this car. Too bad it is way out of my price range right now.

Dang, that thing is pretty dirty. I hope they give her a nice bath before returning her.

Nice pics, not too crazy about the car, but i'm sure it's a blast to drive. Looks like a concept car which gives it the hotness factor.

Not normally and Audi fan either, but minus the odd off-color side body panel, this car = teh hotness.

And why hasn't Honda built the HSC yet...

Motor Trend - Travel Feature - Audi R8
http://www.motortrend.com/features/t..._2008_audi_r8/

The funny thing is they wrote about my friend who spotted them in Seattle area.
"there's Danny, a young Seattleite who tails us to our hotel in his SLK and then proceeds to fire off as many questions as photos. An hour later, Danny's SLK is perpendicular to the R8, its Xenons lighting up the Audi like a model. Another hour passes, and Danny now has two friends in tow, the latest equipped with a high-end digital SLR with a huge flash. Do Ferraris get this sort of attention?"

The first modification i would do on that car is to have the silver or aluminum looking piece redone in carbon fiber, either that or painted to match the color of the car.

That's a fast car.

I actually saw an R8 up near Seatac airport. I was really surprised to see it and man did it sound nice.

I'm usually not an Audi fan either, but the R8 is the first Audi to make me drool.
