Looking at my next car and I'm torn between the Evora S and F Type V8 R. Roughly about the same price point in Dubai (so overpriced!).

I used to have a 2010 XFR so I already know how lovely the Supercharged V8 is (although lacking S/C whine), but looking for some insight to the rest of the package...

Much less 'Luggage space' in the R due to no +2 unlike the Evora, but what is the actual 'boot' like?

No noise restiction as such in Dubai, so what aftermarket soot-pipes are available?

Consumables, what are prices like for brakes etc.

Anything to look out for? My XFR had the dashboard changed at 3 yrs old due to the sun here making them peel. Apart from that it was good as gold. Is the F the same?

Appreciate any advice from current/past owners. Cheers
