1st R8 for me in Ipanema brown. Audi had TT RS and a Q7 V12 in that colour at the IAA Autoshow in Frankfurt.

Lovin it!

nice to see a different look, but it's one of those colours that could look seriously dated in a few short years. could see that being a resale value killer down the line.

+1. It'd be a good lease choice though.

Like it, but would i be brave enough to order that colour? its like this colour, like it too but would i order one? i dont think so but would admire those that had the balls to spec it..

Too "Anti-Audi"

It's an interesting color, but sportscars should never be any shade of brown IMO. On the A5/S5 it would be pretty sharp.

There is another R8 out there in Saddle Brown with Sand Beige blades. Its pictured in the '09 AE order guide. I havent managed to find it in a .jpg but it elicits a similar response as the Ipanema... nice and interesting but not to be ordered. That Saddle/Sand was on my short list of colors when I was ordering but when it came down to it, Brown is not a color for an "exotic-esque" sports car.
