    Looks good if not as unique as the stock car with side blades..

    Thanks for the photo.

    That car looks so much better IMO. I wonder if you could spec one out like this.

    Maybe Audi added the blades on as an after-thought, so people wouldn't say it looks too much like a gallardo.

    I like it better without blades....too bad this is just a photoShop pic.... who knows what it really looks like?

    Aiken Drum over at NSXprime did a nice job on the pic

    Cars can be ordered with the side blade painted body color.

    Ditch the vents beneath the headlights and tail lights and it would be almost palatable.

    Thats the first thing i thought of. Looks like the Gallardo on the sides without them. I actually like the blades, makes it a little more unique.

    The local dealer said no more CF blades - no supply for a while.

    The photoshop looks much better. Too bad they aren't building them like that.

    Me too, at least in the side view. on the carbon fibre - (while I personally never liked the pure "looks" of this stuff) -

    Wonder if they realized that the carbon fibre yellowed in the sun, but the mean old Corvette people would not give them any of their special 60,000 dollar a gallon clear cote.

    (We brought down the Hindenburg on much the same principles, by withholding the sale of Helium, BTW)...

    I like 'em. Reminds me of the last classic exotics like the Miura, Boxer and 308/328. Modern cars now look like someone dumped a bucket of paint over the entire car.
