From the pics that looks like a R8 with the normal V8 engine. The V10 has a slightly different looking grill.

Bro-in-law told me its a V10... Isn't there just one black R8 V10 in Chennai?

Sivasankar · 8th June 2011, 23:16

Thanks for the correction, guys... have to learn to differentiate between the R8s... so is Chennai's V10 R8 a white one with black blades?

manishasrani · 9th June 2011, 04:13

Yes the v10 r8 in chennai is white ..

manishasrani · 9th June 2011, 08:58

Couple of pics of a Porsche Cayman.

Saw a white Tamiya Eunos Roadster today just after crossing Anna University and followed it till Anna Centenary Library on Gandhi Mandapam Road. Nice looking car!! Couldn't click photos as I was in my bike today. Had a TN-38 (North Coimbatore) registration.

Just saw an unregistered white R8 V8 near Burkit Road - Usman Road junction in T Nagar.

Wondering whether this is a new addition.

I saw it too

! Actually, it's more of a Mazda than a Tamiya

! The MX-5 was sold in Japan as the Eunos Roadster...

The unregistered R8 belongs to the Rathna Store's owner. His house is very close to mine.

He also has a Bimmer 5 series (E60 I presume), a Swift D and lots of other cars.

Cheers,
Kaushik

EDIT: Posting pics of the V8 R8 which I have mentioned above. All pics sourced from the owner's relative who happens to be a friend of mine.

The lead car for one of the categories of the Dakshin Dare rally. Had an awesome time watching this car off-roading!!! These pics were taken in MMSC and Kodaikanal. Will upload Coorg pics in the relevant thread later.

Guess there are 2 of the same coloured exterior and interior, because i've seen one with a fancy Reg. No in KNK road. And the guy driving it was not the Music Director.

I spotted a an A4 3.0 TDi in panagal park today. Couldnt get pics due to the traffic.

Came across these pics on The Automotive India forum. Initially thought it was a Turismo S looking at the wheels but that's not the case as it had quad exhausts.
