Like the white black combo on the R8, could be biased though. Have driven the V10 Spyder and they are pretty sweet cars, sure wish the E55 tranny shifted like the auto did in the R8! Oh and the traction like it would be nice too

Traction is just lack of torque

yes - the V10 shifts like an F1 car up and down - i had the opp to drive one like i stole it and and i couldn't get that grin off my face - what an amazing job Audi did on the R8 V10

Nah man it is called all wheel drive! That is one thing I hate about stepping out of my Audi and getting in the E55, missing that traction of 4 wheels pulling and no spinning.

It is crazy because you can be doing like 15 or 20mph in the R8 and pound it and it just slingshots ahead and hits a lightning quick shift to 2nd then 3rd.

Everytime I see one I hear in a still small voice. "Can you please help me Jim? I need to be in your garage after a stop at UG racing for a pair of turbs"

sigh, someday
