trade in suzuka grey R tronic for a black manual Manual

[8rr8]

Hello there, recently i just purchased a suzuka grey Audi R8 with R tronic gear box.
i have drove for more than 2500 km, i have decide to trade it in for a manual gear box.

The audi dealer ship is doing me a favour by asking me if i want to trade in my suzuka grey R8 with R tronic gear box to a phantom Black r8 manual gear box.

and the car does come extra options such as fine nappa leather and carbon inlays, and hillside assist and power folding mirrors. those 3 options alone cost like 10k but downgrade the Rtronic to a manual for JUST 8000 dollars. what do ur guys think of the deal, oh yeah the car has 0 km on it as well

I have a black, manual V10, for me half the fun of driving is the manual gear box which is superb.
Obviously you need to have a drive in it to make sure you are happy with manual first.

me having done the same, coming from Rtronic and now having the manual, I would never go back, I love the gearing and the clicking while shifting on the manual car way more

That sounds like a fair deal to me.

Go for it. The manual is very easy to drive and the clutch is light and responsive. It's a blast to shift quickly and hear the metallic click as the shifter goes through the gate.

Of course, going to the V10 helps it seem a little more fun too!

I totally agree, I would trade in a heartbeat. I love the sound it makes when it shifts and also they don't make supercars in manual anymore. It's going to be a rare find in the future.

If only it was a manual Suzuka Grey. I hate black cars, but that's just a personal preference. The gated shift of a 6-speed feels like loading a gun and engaging each gear is like firing it off...a very visceral and awesome feeling that simply can't be replicated by an r-tronic.

TOTALLY agree....very nicely put freshmeat. Combined with your TUBI exhaust, I'm sure it's just out of control. I'm thinking about getting a TUBI too, are there different models? If so, which one should I get???

Mine's Rumore, non-valved. It's the highest-pitched and loudest version of the V8 Tubi. Cold start sounds like the world is coming to an end, definitely not for the conservative types.
