Got my copy of evo arrive in the post this week and they have the R8 Spyder up against the 911 Turbo cab, XKR cab and California. The R8 wins... Chris Harris seems to enjoy going sideways in it! Bet that V10 sounds pretty awesome from the drivers seat with the roof down

I'd sooner have those Recaros in an Evora!

At least it no longer has an ironing board folded up on both sides.

I've also only seen it in Evo and totally agree the spyder looks a much better car simply due to the removal of those sideboard things.

A bit 348 through the door / vent area now though? (Not a bad thing)
