you have a nice fleet, so why not? it's not like you need a sedan.

I am not sure about black, most my cars are in black except for Juniors' C63 in white, I'm leaning towards silver or white, actually this is not the car they will sell me this was a demo they provided.

I would say go for it, if you need a fast sedan take Juniors or the S8. The R8 if you can get one should be well worth it.

Depends what you want/need. I love my R8 and when I need a sedan, I plan on getting an E63. Seems these two go hand in hand

If you don't need the practicality (space) than the E63 offers, go for it. The R8 will run circles around it given the chance. However, if you just want straight line power, you may be disappointed.

edit: Just noticed your sig. Do it. You have more than enough sedan room and straight line power. A mid-engine car would do nicely in your garage. It's also more unique than all those.

Thanks guys for the advise, will do it soon and will post pics of the new car which will arrive in Oct with exclusive options. The dealer will buy back the R8 again on a pre-agreed price when the R8 V10 is out as I plan to get that once launched.

we were just driving on some backroads (in Monaco/Southern France) when a new SLR Roadster comes behind us flashing his lights and honking so we just gunned it...R8 was DSG and in sport mode, car is incredible fast- road consisted of mostly hard turns and some straights. SLR was good on straights but on corners he'd lose grip unlike the quattro which was just owning. My friend said on top end he took a SLR coupe on the highway on another occasion. so R8 is a benz raper

No way. SLR will walk an R8 on the straights. No contest, especially at high speeds.

Ha. I didn't realize where you lived. If you were in the US, you'd have a hell of a wait to get one hehe. What's the cost of the R8 in Riyadh?
