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.
