You've just won a competition...choose Audi R8 V10 spyder or
Discussion
If I was to choose one to have then the F430.
The R8 while undoubtedly very good is to me just an Audi and it just doesn't look like a supercar. The Ferrari is something special.
As per the previous posters though, in reality I'd drive it for a short while then sell it so in reality whichever had the better resale value!

Having driven both (OK, on experience days!!), definitely the Ferrari. Drove an 07 plate on-road a few years ago, lovely drive & that noise right behind your head... 
Drove the Audi on track at Elvington (think it was a 10 or 11 plate), very competent & fast, but just didn't have that "something" that the Ferrari had, also found the driving position fairly awkward.
EDIT - just had a look at the experience company website - might have been the V8 R8 I drove.

I used to enter the 'Best of the Best' supercar competition every month, and used to wonder what I'd do if I ever won it. They do offer cash equivalents, but I always figured that I'd have something, keep it for a while and sell it, on the basis that if I just had the cash in the bank, I'd never buy something that flash with it. So it would be the only way I'd experience owning or driving one of these cars, and as much as that appeals, the ongoing stuff doesn't.
I also wondered whether I'd have the R8 or something more flash (often an R8 in BoTB when I was doing it), and tended to discount the R8 on the basis of having something that flash, taking it in to the dealers for a service and getting an A2 as a loan car. But then, at least there's a dealer to take it to without it turning into a big production just to get it serviced.

Isn't it odd how looks divide opinion? I would say that the R8 looks far more like a supercar than a F430.The R8 while undoubtedly very good is to me just an Audi and it just doesn't look like a supercar. The Ferrari is something special.
Edit: I never answered the question: R8, because V10!
