These quotes from the O.P.
If you check my video, you see that the car has been on the track as well at 32° Cel. no problems at all.
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.
So don't worry guys it's been solved.
My car has been delivered know one month a go an the serial no is above 1700.
All the other 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.
Anyway , car is safe

it is only a software update. I know 3 R8's which been called back or just didn't move a meter anymore because of this matter.
That's why I have asked the head of mechanics dept at Audi Lugano, if I should worry about my R8. His answer was NO and he has shown me the letter from Audi.
