Παράθεση:
After test driving 4 separate Porsches and the Ferrari California I will say that all variants except for the Cayman are really trending towards the daily driving crowd and appeasing to new a market of drivers. *More power to both Porsche and Ferrari they all have wait lists on their products so obviously its working - just not what I was looking for. The new 991 in particular shocked me greatly from a feedback perspective, the chassis is so advanced and the steering so accurate that you seem to always be waiting for the road to talk to you and nothing happens, very different then my 997.2 Targa4S. Yes they are piping noise into the cabin but I would not say it is any more aurally pleasing than the M5's active sound just different. Maybe the new GT3 will impress but I really wanted something to make me excited and nervous, maybe even a cab top to compliment the M5. Off to Audi I headed!
I had never even considered Audi or even an R8 but so glad I went - the R8s are special and still quite analog. They had a 2012 R8 GT Spyder V10 sitting alone in the corner after finishing our MT V8 test I took it for a surprise spin and was sold! The MSRP of these cars is ridiculous - only 333 (coupe/cab)made and 18 Spyders in Canada. Anyhow was able to do well pricing wise and picked it up. This car perfectly compliments my M5, could not be happier. Delivery is tomorrow. Nice to have a V10 back in the garage - last was the E60 and I missed it!
Enjoy the pics.. will take some next to the M5 at some point.
