thanks for the info

 

Nice!
Thx for the information

 

Thanks for the information... I was wondering how the side bar colors worked. You should be able to get it in carbon fiber... that would be amazing.

 

Damn that's hot...

Hmmm maybe my next car for 2009? (I never buy 1st model-year cars)

 

Thank you for sharing, Does any one know how much is it going for ?

 

Retail price in the UK is around 76,000 pounds

 

76 thousand pounds not bad

 

a little less expensive than a gallardo, here in the states it seems it will run for around $150k. Pretty good price for a supercar. The R8 would loook sweet all blacked out!

 

It will be available in carbon fibre trim. Combined with that pearl black is a beauty.

Thanks, thats an awesome site. I didnt know the carbon sigma was carbon fiber. I would definentaly get the car in black with the carbon side blade.

 

Actually, from what I have heard, it will run closer to $115k. REALLY good price.

 

Are they going to be putting the Gallardo sourced V10 in there before starting to sell them?

I ask because the launch cars had the 4.2 FSI V8's...

Other than that, I think the price is really good. I expect to see quite a few of these on the road soon enough...

 

To be honest I am unsure the side blade will be made of carbon fibre... I am sure you can get the look though

 

I would have to see it in person... if its not real carbon I cant see it would look so great, but we'll see.
