Taken from the other R8 forum

can you take off the cover ?

looks like the same size, ie. not giving up the storage space like the v12.

They could make it look more impressive? Maybe a RED Intake Manifold or something. Looks boring.

That wouldn't make sense. Red doesn't go with every color. I'd be annoyed if my engine had red all over it and my car was, say, orange and black

True, but Ferrari has Red Manifolds and I don't think it causes a problem. Either way, they need to blink it up a bit!!

I agree with you bz888. I really think Audi should do something to differentiate the appearance from the V8 version. Something more than just the side skirts, tailpipes and the sideblades.

Well they certainly aren't going to have a new body style. The R8 hasn't even been out for a year.

I sent the guy on MySpace a message. He said Audi gave his customer one for two weeks, but he had no idea why or how he got it. He said it was also filled with a fire extinguisher system that would fill the entire car with foam.

He said it is now headed to California. He also mentioned 2010 availability.
