How does the acceleration compare to the Boxster Spyder?

Looks great with the red interior Eduardo! Love it! Can't wait to hear more driving impressions compared to the other Spyder.

Red interiors are the hallmark of a person with unmatched taste, quality friends and infinite wisdom.

p.s.
I like that the Audi has red seats and trim but that the dash is black. A good balance. I might have to consider that.

The red seats with the black dash look awesome. That is how Porsche should do it also. I also love the gated shifter, does it clink when shift?

Thanks. I don't think anyone could have put that better...and it's so true!

Agreed! Thanks.

The greater weight of the R8 is noticeable! See video below!

Fantastic Eduardo, I like following your posts.
PS I've a 535i on order from BMW Individual, Special Order Color with extra leather - to be delivered in Munich, May 8.
I'll post back here in May.

Very interesting lap times given the power difference (and price!). I guess those who debunked the Boxster Spyder as nothing more than a marketing gimmick were proven quiet wrong there.

I love the clinking of the Shifter. That is one of my favorite parts about driving my fathers Ferrari

WOW... What a beauty! I was torn between the Aqua/Blk and a GT Sliver/Carrara Red myslf. However in that car's interior everything was RED! Wasn't sure...

I like the way it came out on yours...

Nice Ed, Enjoy!

I personally liked the look of your other Spyder better, though.
