The R8 BASE MSRP with ZERO options for 6-speed Quattro is $112,500. That also assumes you get one of the TWO Solid-Gloss NON-Metallic paints that don't have an upcharge, either Red or White. Getting a Metallic or Pearl (The only way to get Black is Pearl) is $650 more. It also assumes you are happy with Alcantara rather than real leather, as real leather is either $2000 for the basic leather package or $5500 for the enhanced leather package. Add the basic options that make the R8 into an Audi, like the Premium package, Navigation and the sound upgrade, and a Body-Color Sideblade to keep the R8 from being uglier than a GT-R, and you get $120,500 MSRP. Most Audi dealers are gonna add quite a bit in delivery and bull**** fees. That puts the R8 well out of the same price range as the GT-R, even with what the dealer's are adding as bull**** fees right now.
PS: I've been singing the praises of the R8 long before people actually thought it was cool, or real. The R8 is incredible, for what it is. It's a Luxury Exotic. The GT-R is a Supercar. It's not the BEST Supercar, and would be one of the best performing Luxury Exotics, but it's NOT. It's a Supercar, a good one, a cheap one, an incredible one, but not the best.
