    R8 Champagne and Book Box

    Hey fellas, i just got home and there were two big boxes waiting for me. I find out Audi has sent them and both boxes have the V8 engine of the R8 engraved on them and when i opened them one of them had a champagne and two glasses and the other one contains a large and detailed book of R8. It has pictures of the car being manufactured and tested and also very good writings about the cars exclusivity. I was wondering if any of you guys received such thing?

    I didn't receive any type of gift box from Audi. I wonder how Audi determines who gets it and who doesn't.

    I received a box too. It had some books (24 Truths, Audi Sportscar Experience brochure & card for 10% off a class, Audi Collection catalogue, Audi Care brochure and a R8 Accessories brochure), a plastic card with some phone numbers for customer service, Audi Owner Registration form and the carbon/metal key ring. I did not get a pen. Maybe it is based on a purchase date. Or perhaps because I signed up for the Audi Care service plan. I received my car in late April '09 and the box in early/mid July.

    Yes, this sounds like what we got. We also have Audi Care.

    Us folks in the USA got the gifts from Audi USA. Different situation from Europe, maybe because of the extra delay in shipping it across the pond.

    About Audi care, Did people pay for it or get it thrown in to close the deal? Dealer was adamant about not being able to sell for less for MSRP but he quickly threw in the Audi care at no cost. Even if you have to pay for it seems like a no brainier, Cost is $749 for any Audi. Have to think the oil changes for the R8 will be a heck of a lot more than for an A4
