new optional

[stella polare]

From late September 2009 production.

New option:

2PF Multifunction steering wheel with thicker column, partially perforated leather and R8 signature(a MUST option IMHO). Available for manual and R Tronic.

Pic 2-standard steering wheel


Further change is with Red and Mustang Brown leather. Both now feature lower door covers also in Red or Mustang Brown leather(till now only seats were in Red or Mustang Brown leather). Nice addition IMHO.

Pic 3-BF Red full leather package now looks like this

Red and Mustang on the doors is soooooooooo much better, they'll have a lot more people ordering these colours now

Agree with Davey on the colours, also the new wheel is now like (an uncarboned) PPI in terms of rim shape - very cool.

I agree with Ian too Davey, however i will still be opting for the silver leather on seats and door panels mixed with black, i am opting for the new multi function wheel, much chunkier.

The downloadable brochure for Spyder on the German site is not yet available in English on the UK site so i have been translating, i do hope they offer the same spec in the UK.

Aren't the colors of leather (Polares Pics) Mustang brown seats and charcoal ? Computers can alter hues. Also would like to see a better pic of the optional wheel. Appears a little Weak-sauce. Closer to a Lambo wheel but still lagging in style.

For crying out loud!!! That's all I harped on all summer-- crimson seats and the lack of matching door trim. Too late now. Got my R8 two weeks ago.
