I love the aesthetic design of this Quattro, and I admit that this vehicle really gotten my attention and interest. Well, I’m so impressed with its over-all features, very satisfying!
The headlight of this R8 Spyder is so appealing! The sleek body paint is very impressive. I just don’t like the color that they used on it, looks boring.
If Iron Man has a very outstanding Audi for himself, Pepper, his assistant should get something as sleek as this one. I didn’t noticed on the trailer of Iron Man 2 on what she got for her ride.
The bumper is really cool. But I’ll prefer a car which has a lot more space. There are a lot of convertible wherein you can find a comfortable spacious quality.
R8 Coupe has a strong road presence, this Spyder looks almost like a cheap TT. The design of roof and aluminium sides on Coupe make a big difference, feels more robust.
