22 days with an R8 Spyder
evo has a long term R8 Spyder. Read all about how we're getting on with it here.
We're quite happy that our long term TT RS has been delayed. To 'tide us over' (their words), Audi has loaned us an R8 Spyder. We're going to take it in turns to look after it for the next three weeks and will update the story every day, telling you what we've been up to with it and taking loads of snaps of it. Just click the links below and you'll be taken straight to the blogs.
