| Nice. Very nice. By the way... isn't anybody going to explain that audi auto gearshift to me?  And... How about the white 7-series by the little temple in Ranga Road a couple of evenings ago. Totally oblivious to the blocked traffic behind stopping cars passing either way! After some shouting, the driver opened his door and took a look around. Didn't look rough, or stupid, looked like a regular and decent guy ...and he did then move a few yards. More to topic though, in white, that car looks really magnificent!

| @gvr - Yeap same. But SLR starter button also gets a small lid insipired by some fighter jets. @shamik - He meant the R8 V12 Tdi dude, still a concept which reportedly shares the 6.L V12 mill from the Q7. |

I guess they are still working on a gearbox that can take up so much torque . | |

| Fantastic pictures of the R8, Manish!  I still prefer the 911 Turbo but the R8 looks splendid, especially in white! Would've liked to see a manual stick shift but ah, what the heck! |

The R8 is gorgeous! As is the Jag! I'd prefer the manual too. Audi sticks shift buttery smooth. | |

But the Audi r8 v12 tdi produces 500bhp from a 6 litre engine while the v12 tdi in the R10 produces 650bhp from a 5.5 litre engine. | |
