Yeah I've seen a few, a customer had a V8 for a little while when the R8 was new, so I had a poke around it then, also our project manager/architect had an R8 Spyder (and previously an RS5) as loaners after the Audi garage crashed his R8 V8, which I got a ride in.. also there are a couple of others around my town, and of course I've seen, and photographed, plenty at the race track....
... and what can I tell you, I don't much like it.. I mean it's nothing special, and in profile it's downright awkward looking.
But that doesn't really matter, I've no problem with you liking the R8 at all... but I still do not see any resemblance to an Audi in the i8, whatsoever, and I maintain that Audi wouldn't style something in such a brave fashion... just look at the Quattro concept!! It's dull and predictable! The only reason why the Nanuk concept wasn't quite as boring is because it's a vaguely warmed over Audi Branded version of the Lambo Parkour concept.
Audi's are boring and lack flair - these aren't two criticisms I think you could level at the i8.
.. to be fair.. the R8 will sound a lot better I'm sure!!!
