Seen the R8 V10 and TT-RS...

TT-RS

The front end looks amazing and looks so beefy and aggressive. I also like the new wheels, spoiler and interior. However, it wont catch your eye because visually it's not far apart from TT-S.

Also, for £50k I'd rather get the M3.

R8 V10

Wow. I love all the little changes. The rear looks so good with the gloss-black midsection and RS style exhausts. The wheels arent too bad either, although stock V8 wheels looks much better.

I seen the Sepang blue paint with silver blade. It is easily one of the best paints ever. I used to think white was the best, but now I'm not sure!

Yeah yeah I know there aint pics here, but here's the exact specs I seen:

Sepang blue ftmfw.

I still think Gideon at VMR has THE best looking TT:

Garduna · 09-03-2009, 02:57 PM

Very nice looking TT.

If I had to pick between the TTRS vs M3 I'd probably pick the TTRS. I know that the M3 is the overall better car for price point but 2 factors make me want the TTRS more. 1) Much more exclusive. There's just a very small handful of TTSs around Ontario. If I had a TTRS, I'd be one of the VERY few. 2) awd vs rwd simply cuz of Canadian winters.

Only see the R9 V10 at the auto show sporting the sepang blue and silver sideblades. VERY beautiful colours. Same blue but with the carbon fiber sideblades, I'm sure that would be titsup fantastic!

You are so right, on the day I took a test drive they had two TT-RS cars sitting and one was round the back of the showroom, a white one waiting to get dried off after getting washed, it was sitting beside a TT-S and the differences were as subtle as they are between the A4 S-Line and the S4, apart from the spoiler that is.

On driving it you are left in no doubt that this thing has a cracking engine, pulls from any speed in any gear. Makes the M3 feel weak in comparison, even though you know it ain't. The problem I had with the car was the gear shift, it's poor for a car of this caliber and the brakes were too sensitive for this type of sportscar. Apart from that it's one of the best small coupe available and by god can it cover ground quickly.

But the price is the thing that would stop me dead in my tracks. Way too dear for what you get.

Tough choice..
$150,000 or so for the 10 or SC an 8?

Silver w/ those Mono's looks pretty flippin sweet.

greatwrk9 · 09-04-2009, 04:31 AM

They are really looking nice. Always have a dream to buy one for me.

c0nstant · 09-04-2009, 04:50 AM

ooooooooooooooooooooooooh my god what wheels are those on the black TT?

gonzo · 09-04-2009, 09:17 AM

More traditional spokes are offered on the V10. Most are hitting the ground with the funky ones.

footie · 09-04-2009, 09:31 AM

Am I the only one who actually likes the OEM alloys on the R8v10?

P.S.
Though I do hate the front grille.

They arent that bad in real life, but the original V8 wheels are better

Also, I hate the grille too, I wish they went for a honeycomb style grille to match the RS style exhausts.
