Vantage V12 or R8 V10

[ferdi p]

Im about to sell my F430 & wondered if any owners had any ownership advice on my next purchase (V12 Vantage or V10 R8)
I dont know anyone who has either car & welcome comments from anyone in the know..

Hello,

Nice position to be in!

I hvent driven the V12 but did drive the V8 at some length. My view is that its a pretty car, amazing sound, prob one of the best sounding cars of all time but in my view its a bit behind if you compare its technology and preformance. (again im talking about the v8 here.)

I recently bought a V10 spyder and can not rave enough about it. I have driven more exotic cars but nothing gives you as much confidence as the Audi.

And i think its quite a looker.... pictures below...

Preformance is great and with the roof down, not even the philharmonic orchestra make a bettter sound

Vantage V12 no doubt

[Not Ideal]

V12V.

Took me about 1 millisecond to come to that decision.

V12

V12 Vantage.

Adding to the V12V brigade; it is just a more special car I think; but then possibly you might argue the R8 V10 might be more a daily car?

Slightly off topic but do you have details of the 430 you are selling as I am looking to buy one in the coming weeks?

Ferdi, do you have a contact number you can send to me at [e-mail]

V12V for me as well. There's a pretty good group test in this months EVO that has both these cars in. They describe the R8 as too good and the Vantage was old school fun. Anyway, it's probably worth a read.

Oh and if you fancy owning the car that wins the test (SLS) then I've got a build slot for Feb that you can have at list!

You sure???
I'm sure he sums up that he'd take the V12V over all of them...

That was true in the Autocar test!

Ooops!
Your absolutely right..

[DSLiverpool]

If its your daily driver I would Audi - for an occasion car / garage queen Aston all the way no doubt.

V12V no doubt...I know R8 is very nice piece of kit but still looks like TT on drugs to me, sorry

[ali4390]

This is my first pistonheads post and I am using it to say V12V all the way in my opinion!!!

Having driven the V12V and all be it only passengered in R8 V8.. I would choose the V12V.

On so many levels and for so many reasons!

Then again... No... No... get the R8 V10... then there will be a V12V left for me

[melvster]

Neither, keep the F430 or get a Scuderia.
