I think that's a better car for the money.

A lot of money to pay for what at first glance could be mistaken for a TT....

Really, is that the best that you can do? I can honestly say that I've never seen an R8 and thought, umm, now is that a TT or an R8?

This classic forum criticism of the R8 is for overdue customers of Spec savers or naughty little mischief makers only.

On what planet is an R8 more "supercar" than a V12 Aston?

It's a mid engined 500+ bhp mid two seater - that's definitive Supercar territory. Aston don't currently make a Supercar. They make lot's of cars which might be super but, they ain't Supercars.

I could have sworn this thread was about the Virage

Wrong, it's about TT's - I think? V12 Aston, call it a GT, call it a super car - who cares?

How on earth can anyone distinguish between the different Aston models? The difference between them and a Mondeo needs a keen eye even.

Having owned both, this planet. Yep, definitely this planet.

I don't think there's any possibility I'd take an R8 over one of these. What an incredible car.
