  • Drive with 20 R8, what do I have to pay attention to?

    Hello, I’m very lucky to drive an R8 with 20 from next week Saturday, it’s a 4.2 V8… but I don’t have any experience with such a powerful car, so my question to you, what do I have to pay special attention to? Can you give me any other tips?

  • Opinions desired – decorative colour R8

    Hello R8 municipality, I bought the R8 V10 Spyder Cabrio in dark “Teak-brown”. Before it was a R8 V8 in red – black. Somehow I find the teak brew a bit boring and came across a Lambo Tron lines on the Internet, which I kind of like. The decollation is called Tron, after the movie Tron… I haven’t changed anything yet, but played a little bit with the painting program on the PC. But that would become a little more lines. Now with teak-brown it’s kind of sooo serious. Or again like the predecessor? What do you mean? Create a R8 Tron, so only the contours in white, so with one centimeter width. Or again like before. Red -Black.. Or leave original? Thanks for opinions and criticism greeting Richard

  • Search R8 – purchase or leasing

    Hello I’m looking for an R8 because I think it’s a very nice car. v8 or v10 doesn’t matter to me. Priced it should be at a maximum of 75k. Km to a maximum of 55k 1 previous owner would probably be the best. Equipment would suit me a lot of carbon. Would I be very pleased if you could recommend one to me. – Alternatively I wanted to ask if you know if there are good leasing conditions for the R8 because I didn’t find much on the internet.

  • GT3 away from V10 there

    Hello together, I decided last year to sell my GT3. Was a great car!! But it has to be something else. I’m curious if I am so happy with the V10 or happier ?! A few key data: V10 R-tronic Ibiswhite Outside all carbon inside all leather and Alkantara shell seats with diamond back white white dials boot Alkantara entry rails carbon tailpipes black OZ Ultraleggera HLT 19 MR with HR power increase with flap system Me ssung still comes So that’s actually what’s important. I prefer to leave my job away, nobody believes 🙂

  • I’ll say goodbye.

    Hello dear R8 community, now it’s done – my R8 will change owner next Monday. I got the car sold for 52.500,00 €. I’m sure that the car will be in good hands with the new owner. If Sundern is still taking place, I’ll come with the Ferrari – until then it should be in the paint again http://www.carpassion.com/…/…ierung-ferrari-328-gts-bj-1987-a.html It’s being extensively restored by the company Fehr in Grünberg. The R8 was unfortunately the “victim”, because the Ferrari is already 26 years old and I have been driving the car for 14 years. The heart is a little bit more attached! In this sense: Drive carefully and take care of your cars. Always enough fuel in the tank and a protective angel that looks over your shoulder at 300 km/h a la prossima, Uwe

  • Now R8 purchase discount possible?

    Officially, the topic is taboo and for all Audians, the word “discount” at the R8 is only one city in Morocco. Now, however, one of my business partners received almost 12% discount when ordering his R8 with R-Tronic. Delivery at short notice. I could not believe it and had his order presented to me. And it was true: Under a 130,000 order was “house price € 115,000,-“. Has anyone had similar experiences?

  • How much money is in your R8?

    Hello R8 friends, I’ve been my R8 V10 Spyder since June. I’m not the big tuner or friend of many changes, yet I’ve invested since the 6227.51 Euro. Exactly book I’ve changed the following: Carbon radio/navigation border LED license plate Lighting Carbon exterior mirror housing including feet Carbon MTM switch arms KW threaded springs + Installation + Measuring + TÜV winter tires Carbon center console rear part Carbon center console front part Carbon scarf Terumrandung für Verdecksteuerung Carbon Beverage holder border AUDI R8 V10 Aluminium rim AUDI R8 V10 Aluminium rims High gloss compacted All this cost me 6227.51 Euro and the Capristo plant is still missing in the collection When I’m finished it’s good 10,000 Euro which is stuck in the car Is this in your eyes already a lot of money or am I a little light I didn’t have so much coal in my 997. Well, except for the carbon parts, because exchange parts I can do everything on sale more or less make money again but still for my feeling a lot of money. How about you?

  • Facelift

    Moin moin, I had the opportunity to see the R8 Facelift live… Here’s the impressions: Rear lights look like the 1:1 fit, and look totally horny. As soon as I get a set in my fingers I will test it. Front also looks totally horny.. Live like a sparkling diamond… Also totally horny. Shifting flaps are made of aluminum.. will cost a fortune… Stitched interior is also cool… New knee pad.. Lacquered struts of air nozzles, chrome on the window lifters … etc. All in all a nice upgrade, which can be completely retrofitted but pictures were unfortunately not allowed…

  • Power consumption in idle mode

    I am the owner of a 10/2009 he V8 Unfortunately he is currently standing in the garage for longer periods of time. I am used to my previous vehicles that the car still starts after months of service life. Not so with my R8. There is a fully charged battery after approx. 2 weeks empty. Therefore, I often had the case that the battery was completely empty. However, with a trick I could revive it again and again so far. One time I get a note lock, the rope pull is quickly torn off. After my last full discharge I wrote down some numbers. My charger tells me that about 120Ah fits into my battery. Therefore, with a charge current of (initially) 4A I need a few days until the battery is completely full. After a day of service I had to recharge again about 10Ah. I am aware that some consumers (e.g. the indoor monitoring) always stro In addition, the LEDs are constantly glimmering in the engine compartment very easily. But hardly believe that this together makes 10Ah per day. Have also a maintenance charger for some time, but think that the battery does a certain discharge from time to time. Will now take the car no more than a week from the maintenance loader. Is a power consumption of about 10Ah/day normal with the R8?

  • Damage to the vehicle by Audi Partner

    Moin! I have a general question about how you or your Audi partner deal with it when it causes damage to your vehicle. The following background. I had given my car to the R8 partner for service action 19M4 (cooled water tank). I was not entitled to a rental car during the action? Is that normal? When I wanted to pick up my car again, I was received with the sentence “Unfortunately, there was a little mishaps.” The service manager went with me to the car. and explained to me that they would have been stuck in the lifting platform when driving out with the rim and this was damaged. I mounted the standard rims, which I had painted, however, where the rim now has a 5cm long deep scratch on the outer edge, so that there really lacks material there. The service manager told me that they will of course repair the rim but the car would have to stay in the workshop for another 2 to 3 days. The service manager said that this would not be a problem at all and you would contact me again for an appointment. This happened the next day, when I was asked if I would prefer a switch or automatic with the replacement car. I didn’t really care about that, but I asked what kind of car it would be and I got an A1. Now someone who works at Audi had told me that I was working at Audi. If you give off your car there and get a rental car, then you have a right to a nearly identical car in the class. A1 and R8 is already a small difference. Is this so normal or can I insist on another car or would Audi have to show itself in another form “recognizable”? After all, I then have an improved rim and circumstances and costs by having to leave the car again. The R8 partner is not just around the corner. G Ruffles Steffen
