I found these photos posted in our Car Lounge forum, a forum that is networked to all of our Vortex Media websites. These are the first actual photos that I know of that include the R8 in red.
Audi also released the full press kit for the R8 today as well. We've got it live already, along with many new photos added to our photo gallery. The article can be found here...

I just dont get the black stripe down the side of these things. I think it really detracts from the car a lot and looks silly.
Is there a rational explanation for it I havent heard yet?
I also am bugged by the name, I keep getting it confused with the race car when someone mentions the "R8." To me, the only R8 was the one that dominated sportscar racing, I think they should have kept the Le Mans name or something else for this model. But hey, what do I know?

take off the rings and I bet 8 out of 10 people surveyed would say it's a new Ferrari

Yes, there is. Try finding the original carlounge thread from which these pics have been taken from. There is a response by another member on the first page; he posted right above me and he explained it really well IMO.
