ANYTHING is a nice color on the R8!

I hate white on all cars, except a very select few. I'd take this in white any day of the week.

Stunning, so beautiful, I am sure it will have lots and lots of performance as well.

It definitely a very stunning sportcar for sure. But with that kind of money, I think I get the Aston Martin V8 Vantage instead.

Oh, it's so damn beautiful!

Lexus, you should hear yourself. May I ask why? Sure, the V8 Vantage is beautiful- but so is this. It also has 40 more horsepower, a less crude ride (the 911 is a better car than the AM for sure), better transmission options, and what's sure to be much better handling. The R8 is one of those unique vehicles that combine stunning looks with stunning dynamics.

White with black sideblade, please.

Gorgious.White for me too with black sideblade.

To me R8 looks even more beautiful than the Lambo gallardo.

Buttttt price again? Isn't it a little pricey.I mean at this price we can get a V10 equipped car too.
