    R8GT Track review

    The following 2 videos give an excellent insight into the new GT, although in French they have subtitles, you do get to hear the sound of the GT which i know we have all being trying to access to compare, i think its great to watch, i hope you agree!

    Thanks for posting an early road test/review. Too bad he didn't have a dry track to push it a little harder.

    Who needs subtitles?!

    Smooth driver, very French. I would love to see a video of the car on a dry open track in the hands of a raving mad driver. Well MB??

    Gazza, i have now put my car on the dealer network as for sale, i have today ordered an A1 as a winter run about, my dealer called me and said he had a black one with silver roof line coming in at the end of November with leather and all the toys so have bought that!

    If the Spyder sells then i will have another car to use other than the X6, will really miss the Spyder, but the dealer says there are quite a few for sale in the UK as used and some new ones too so don’t really expect it to sell this side of Christmas, plus he says used prices will go up again in spring 2011.

    Expecting the orange GT in April ish!

    You also have to watch the reviews where he uses it as a DD through Paris...

    Just found this video from the same people, they let a guy who can’t drive or have a license drive the GT!
