I dunno...it sort of reminds me of a Porsche with one of those God-awful fiberglass kits that were popular during the Miami Vice era, combined with an Opel on steroids.
Does look awful in that picture, but I can testify that these cars are absolutely beautiful "in the flesh".
They also make quite a nice purring sound.
edit. Here's Jeremy Clarkson doing some driving and describing ("It's like smearing honey on Keira Knightley") on the R8.

Oh good. Just what I needed to know after the news that came down from Sacramento yesterday. I think I'll go have a bowl of broken glass chowder now.

Are there still people out there who think that dumping megatons of crap into the atmosphere has no effect on the air we breathe? Let me know where you live and I'll come over and shit in your swimming pool. It shouldn't bother you much.

Oh, for crying out loud...I'm watching Sports Center, and this commercial comes on. Now you know where Ed got the idea to buy this car...he saw it on Wolfie's X-Box!
This one's a tad cooler.

Had the chance to drive one of those a couple weeks ago. Unreal. Beautiful cars, and loads of power. And whoever siad they would rather have a Camaro...you're high.
