Perfect. I'll be ready to trade my GTS by then.

looks nice, but still looks too tame for a facelift. I'm expecting a bit more in the design department...

I'm confused. All the talks about Gallardo successor mention how it will share its completely new developed platform with the coming R8. Why would you develope an entirely new platform and then just do a facelift exterior wise? Also the R8 has been in production 6 years, which is quite a long time. Too long imo to just update it with a facelift. It needs a bigger makeover. New engines and dct as well would be about time.

Car people never like this questions but...

Is it just me or is the R8 kind of the girls supercar of supercars? Just doesn't have a manly look to it. Pretty sure I couldn't drive one.

Nah, the R8 is a fantastic bit of kit! (channeling Clarkson with that line )
