This is one of several mules located in Tampa, Florida. I have seen it in person.

If that is the V10 then Im delighted! I have a deposit down and its killing me not knowing when its even coming out!
I was hoping for at least some sort of boot space though so hopefully they will address that issue before releasing it, lol

Jas, there is no more boot space!!!

Jas, there is no more boot space!!!

Unlikely, as there aren't any change that I am aware of that would effect that. Everything is in the rear.

I meant that they had taken up the space under the bonet with all sorts of crap which I was hoping would remain as storage space.
One day Im gonna post on this site and not receive a negative/smart ass reply...

Jas667 don't hold your breath. I think what Wedouglas was trying to say is that there should be the same amount of storage space under the hood. I have seen the mule and although I did not see under the hood, from the photos it looks like it is filled with electronic monitoring equipment as this is still a test vehicle and has been given out to a select few R8 owners for "real world" testing and feedback. I imagine that Audi records all driving information for analysis. I could be wrong but cannot fathom what else they would need to add upfront for the v10.

Vheers wolfie. I hope it does remain as storage as it will be my only car! :-)
The only thing I thought I recognised was the small cylindrical thing which looks the exact same as the puncture repair kit I have in my current M car.
