R8 V10 plus is a very capable car but at the end of the day its an Audi and will depreciate heavily.
Go large or go home IMHO - I would spend the extra and have a Lamborghini Huracan over the audi all day long and still probably be cheaper to own.

In my experience, just like houses, you are best to have the bottom of the run of the higher brand Lambo than the top run of the lower brand Audi.

As a daily driver I expect the audi is easier to live with and merge in with normal cars. At least when you park at the supermarket you wont need to worry about coming back to a crowd of people taking photo's of your car but you will get fed up of "nice audi mate" being said. Been there and done that and it cost me a fortune as well
did you even read my post? been large still go large but the difference between a huracan and R8 v10 plus is not worth the extra £££

perhaps if you want to look the business then get the lambo but if its for the drive and experience nothing in it. still think the huracan is an amazing car, i really enjoyed mine but never loved it. as for wing mirrors on a TT who gives a fk, there designed to look at the car behind you.

or just get he best car the world has ever seen in the mclaren 650s

Well I am going to have to get used to the big spoiler because after a drive I have fallen in love with the 911 991 GT3 RS...what a fantastic drive, feel , sound, handling..its like stepping back in time. In this digital world, the RS is very much like putting your old vinyl LP's back on the turntable..not for everyone, but for me as a 3rd car, the 'out for a blast' car its perfect....
spoiler?..what spoiler, forgotton its there already

Good choice, not as quick as the Lambo or R8 but still a great car!

cheers Sone...the funny thing is it does actually feel as fast as the R8 I went out it, yes I am sure in numbers terms its not, but I think the rawness of the RS does make it feel faster. In fact took my 10 yr old out in both and he was convinced the Porsche was a lot faster, I think the noise & feel add to that , the cosseted feel of the audi makes it more sterile speed wise, but yes both great cars indeed

I think your right about the noise to be honest and again you're right about the rawness of the RS, I find it very easy to get the back end of my RS moving around. Of the three cars where the R8 falls short is drama but then again its market price reflects that!
Great choice enjoy!

Without those side intakes, and particularly from that angle, you'd be hard pushed not to mistake that at first glance for a Mk3 TT RS...



They even share the same wing mirrors.

I love mine had plenty of Fcars and GT porsches and this is just as good in a different way.

Interior is epic. Engine is Epic. Not the best looking car but not ugly. Handling is great and involving enough.

If you want the most involing drive get GT3 RS peferrably a 996.

50% of the time our roads are wet and cold. Mine is used everyday its fun and useable all weathers.
