    Is this for real?

    Anyone seen the chocolate colored R8 on Dupont Registry? Is this a factory color or is something fishy going on there? I tried posting a link to the ad but I don't have enough posts yet. Please check it out and share your thoughts. The ad has been viewed 15,388 times.

    I think there is an Audi Exclusive package like this (will confirm tomorrow) but that VIN is 100% fake...

    Its a poor R8 with a terrible custom paint job and now whomever first thought it was brilliant now knows otherwise and dumped a perfectly fine R8. I've seen this around, and wonder which would be if this or the ghastly red and beige interior V8 Vantage would be driven off the lot by a color blind fool.

    The car came from Audi like that. Just painted via the Audi Exclusive custom paint option. I'm pretty sure the car was owned by the CEO of Crocs. I remember reading an article about him and the car.

    The thing I don't understand is that there's an a$$ for every seat. After fifteen thousand views, Seems like someone would have bought this car by now. Especially, if it's factory painted.
