NLC: Picked up the new motor V10 RWS

[SAJ]

Just picked up the new motor today, it's an R8 V10 RWS (Rear Wheel Series). 540bhp to the rear wheels with a 7 speed S Tronic gear box. About 50kg lighter and Audi are building just 999 of these cars for distribution globally.

Been out and about all day and I'm still buzzing, the V10 is just class.

Very smart. Sticking with red and rear wheel drive then !

Didn't know that model existed. Was amazed when I went the Rev Limits run the heat radiating from the R8 at the end.

Enjoy it, sure that won't be too hard !

Yep, had to be RWD and I was never bored of the black/red combo so decided to stick with it. Suits the car well if you ask me the engine does radiate quite a bit of heat I could see it in my rear view mirror.

Very nice, enjoy.

Nah not heard his car but I speced the Audi Sports Exhaust which sounds class, plenty pops and bangs on down shift and the in cabin noise is really addictive.

That is lovely, interior quality is fantastic. Would love to know your impressions of how it compares to the Evora? ( When its run in )

Got to add my own admiration there, Saj. R8 has never quite done it for me but that's a cracker. Exactly your colours too

You still contracting at Fujitsu?

Yep still at Fujitsu, but wasn't ever contracting.

My apologies young man. Bit of a quantum leap there!

Glad they are keeping you busy.

Lisa clocked the Evora in the car park there a few times. She's at CGI. And when she occasionally took ours, the petrolhead possee always got v excited to have TWO Evoras in the car park

The Cup is a fun car, nimble, light and drives great. The initial build quality was not very good which was really disappointing but this week should see the last issue with the air con sorted. Really miss the V6 torque and noise which makes the Evora more of a special occasion when you drive it. Fingers crossed next year in the Cup is a better one and Lotus can supply spares which I hope won’t be needed.

You will be interested to know my Audi S3 in the same time has required nothing more than a oil change.
