MUCH better looking than that photoshop the other day. I am curious what it looks like with the top down though, or how it even goes down.

The top looks like an afterthought. Oh wait, it is an afterthought. Maybe its me but that top looks a little tacky.

Of course it's an afterthought. Aren't all convertibles? Name one high performance car that was DESIGNED as a convertible and not as a hardtop with a convertible sibling....

Even if it's an afterthought it could still look better IMO. Chevy designs the corvette convertible alongside the coupe which yields much better results (as far as the top is concerned).

I agree. I guess that blade on the side really gives the R8 its look.

I like the spyder configuration. It should look good with the top down. It looks like a setup similar to the F430.

That should read, The R8 has a front that looks like a Honda Beat from over 15 years ago..

It sure looks great without the "sideblade" which to me looks totally like an afterthought on the coupe.
