PICS: New Audi R8 HYDRAULIC FAILURE - Burns to ground.

You know all the Ferraristis aren’t getting a kick out of these images
featuring
a brand new Audi R8 burned to the rubber? Well, according to
the guy who posted
the pics on R8talk, “Ti_Mike”, the fire was caused
by a failure in the gear box
hydraulic system. There’s no way to
verify this, but here’s Ti_Mike’s exact
word’s: -

"The car burned has been a test car, serial no. below 1610.
All cars
below this no had problems with the R-Tronic and the fire was
caused by a
hydraulic failure.

Most of the cars with a serial no below 1610 have been test
cars. It
has been a simple software update for the gear box hydraulic system
to
eliminate the problem."

Hopefully all the R8 owners have received a software
update. The car
of the Audi deal which burned just hasn't being updated. Well
guess
it would have been easier if they would have done it.
