R8

I made reference to how much the new NSX "concept", to me, looks an awful lot like the R8. When I was at my parents over the weekend I snagged a shot......and yeah, they do look very similar. This belongs to my dad's brother, it's a "loaner" for the moment. Dad's Panamera suffered a "chassis failure" and is at the Porsche dealership for diagnosis and repair. In the meantime he's "using" this car. (he was offered a Panamera loaner, but opted out, I told him he could have taken it anyway and let ME drive it, to which he just laughed heartily)
I've driven this car and it is a beast and a lot of fun, but I wouldn't want it for a daily driver. The Panamera has spoiled me for all other sports cars I believe. It really is the best of both worlds, comfort and ultra-performance.
Anyway, when I saw it in the garage Sunday night I remembered the post I'd made and thought I'd throw up this image.
Oh, this is a 2009 model, and while it does have the trademark Audi eyelash LED trim lights, it doesn't have the vampire killing Audi LED headlights. (I think that was my favorite Super Bowl commercial by far)
