That's a completely new design

I honestly think that the old one looked better. This one, for me, is too much like the TT. aAd, also, the rear window is too wide, thus making the c column stand out, making the car look weird and fat at the rear. But that is just me. Overall, I think it is more boring and less well proportioned.

So new, I almost forgot it was an Audi!

I want to see that in wide bodykit- *shot*

Wide bodykit? Who needs a wide bodykit.

Where's the DTM bodykit with a rear wing that makes enough downforce to crush Corollas.

Speaking of TTs...

I think the new R8 looks amazing. I love designs with sharp edges and a general lack of roundness. Although, actually, I wish the R8 had the same grille as the TT, as the one here doesn't look as good.

the people who say the new r8 is boring and looks like the old r8

U WOT?

Looks to me like a bunch of people gathered in a room and said, "Hey, we need a newww R8!" "Right, do you want a fresh design?" "NOOOOO JUST SLAP SOME ARTBITRARY ANGLES ON IT!"

[Leonardo9613]

Well, for me, the new R8 is just an evolutionary design, you can see the same general proportions and lines. However, this time, they didn't go even further, they held back. It now looks like the TT's big brother, whereas before it was something completely different and unhinged.
I think it is boring because they didn't advance, it isn't something outrageous like a supercar should. It is the old car, with straighter and more boring lines, in my point of view, with a TT face slapped on it.

A bit like what TofuWarrior said.

What's bad about it being like a TT? There is nothing wrong with them wanting a common design language.

VW Group... Ditch the bloody rulers! Curves are best

It's not bad, but it's not a revolution. The 1st R8: Revolution, the new R8: Evolution.
To me it could be just a facelift of the ''old'' R8.
Give me the new Ferrari 488 GTB

No manual, no thanks. Looks great though (no better or worse than the original...)

The R8 was about Audi breaking the barriers and making something radical, now it's a step backwards.

Each to their own, I guess
