Beautiful pics rohan. Great work. The R8 looks simply amazing, like a beast with those running lights. By the way how did you get the invite for this launch?

Oh wow!!! Nice pictures. The car looks awesome & mean from the outside but the interiors seems a bit tacky to me.

: It would've been better if you had thrown in a few punctuation marks in the first post. Makes it easier to read.

Sorry about the punctuation. Will make sure its there next time. They did not mention the price at the launch, but I remember reading it somewhere at Rs. 1.17 cr.

I was coming back from Noida and on Yamuna bidge spotted 3 trucks with 3 Audi R8's in them. Couldnt believe at first and then tried taking a few snaps. Due to night and camera phone they arent good but will post them soon. The striking thing was all 3 had the European number plate on them which was strange. The colors were Black,Silver and Grey.

Out of which iam sure to see the max number of R8's here in mumbai. 1.17 is cheap for a supercar. And iam sure most hot shots here would want one.

Audi must have pulled a lot of high level strings to be allowed to drive around in foreign number plates!
