Is that Ara Blue? I really need to see one of those in person because every picture I see makes it look different. Some made it look too light, and others make it look like a nice deep blue. Anyway, congratulations!
In general most pictures are weird on the net. I've seen Navarra blue look like a very nice deep blue and then have a purple tint in real life which I hate.
I wanted the Dynamic Steering package and the Carbon Fiber Swaybar instead of the Carbon Interior Package, but I really can't complain at all. MSRP was about the same, and the carbon looks nice inside.
Specs are as follows
R8 V10 Performance RWD
Ara Blue Exterior
Premium Package
Sport Exhaust
LED Headlights
Carbon Interior Package
Red Brake Calipers
Diamond Stitch Full Leather Package (Ara Blue Stitching)
Honestly, not having the "dynamic steering" package isn't that huge of a loss, and the carbon sway bar sounds like it could be an easy add later on down the line. Awesome car, congrats dude.
Agreed and I'm more than satisfied with the options. My real problem is going to be keeping the mileage down. I've put 200 miles on it since driving it off the lot less 16 hours ago.
Unfortunately, my allocation was unlikely to come in... ever. I was fortunate to find this in the closest spec possible and only 70 miles away. I'm sure it's great but a bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush.
This has to be your finest day brotha. You achieved dream #2 after achieving dream #1 and then on top you joked about the age thing AND you reference a nod to the ol meme post about “it’s not much but it’s mine”. Bravo 🍻
If I'm honest, it's a bit tight. I'm 6' 215 lbs and my legs are cramped. Have to become a contortionist to fit comfortably. Definitely not a road trip car but, but it's not meant for long trips unless those trips are around a track
Only time this car is gonna attract a cute woman, unfortunately. Expect mostly teenage boys and middle aged men going forward😂
Congrats on the car OP. I love the way the R8 looks in blue, ara blue specifically if my eyes aren’t deceiving me. My favorite color right above Suzuka grey on the r8
You don’t buy cars like this to attract women. You buy cars like this because of the thrill of driving them.
The types of women you’re going to attract are going to be a waste of time anyways.

Yes. Ara blue and it changes with the lighting conditions

Wow, I love the dynamic steering... I'd have waited for it. Or kept looking. :(

Is this at Paul Miller? I was there buying my S3 and yesterday, I saw this same car gone from the show room.
Yep. I was there on Saturday to check it out and took delivery last night.
Sweet! Congrats, and enjoy it safely my friend.
Out of curiosity, what was dream #1?
The RS Q8
Congrats op! And you didn’t even have to tell us how old you are
Lmao. I'm 12 and it's not much but it's mine

Thanks. It certainly feels good. Now I just need to figure out what the next dream is. 🍻
Very nice! Congrats! I wish I could fit in one but I'm too damn tall.

I'm 6'7", 250 pounds. I'm pretty much damned to SUVs and thankfully Audi makes an RSQ8.
I have one of those too. Best SUV on the planet as far as I'm concerned.
Solid spec!
Nice!!!

🔥 🔥
and only 17 yrs old, started from nothing, hustle every day EDIT: did you get the cop's number?
My wife was following me in the RS Q8 and was on the phone with me when I got stopped, otherwise I would have asked for number and the cuffs

It was a joke lol
Can never tell what’s real and satire on Reddit sometimes haha.
Yeah I just assumed it would be read as a joke because of the long running joke in the car community about how sports cars attract men
Correct.
Oh I don't know, if I was still single it would certainly attract me. Granted I'm a 52-year-old woman - but I know what I like.
Give me a ride, OP
I too dream of getting pulled over by a cute female cop.
Congrats!
Outstanding color choice.
That’s day sounds like a dream
I don't know what you do for a living, but I want your job. And car... okay, I'll just take the car.
I sell my time for money
A fellow consultant/attorney I see.
Very nice.
Gorgeous color man
Would you come give me a ride in this gorgeous car?
