In australia is over 200000 dollars and in japan 173000 dollar for THE V8 model.Wtf!?

  • Well in Australia there is extra luxury car tax on them, plus the cost of changing to right hand drive for the Japanese and Australian markets. If this is your first car, I hope you know how to drive an Audi V8, they are not toys to play around with. Read More

Other Choices:

The R8 isn't so much a competitor to Italian exotics such as the Ferrari F430 and Lamborghini Gallardo, as both of those vehicles appeal to a niche group of affluent enthusiasts and collectors who don't expect as much practicality in a vehicle and will wait in line for years for delivery. The Gran Turismo has a larger cabin and a backseat that's large enough for small adults, along with a distinctly Italian style, though it's heavier than the especially nimble R8. The Aston is similarly heavier, exclusive, and luxurious, and it's a great grand-touring vehicle. The Porsche 911 remains arguably the most practical choice in the group, with its more spacious front and rear cargo areas, and an enviable record for safety--that is, provided you don't think 911s are a dime a dozen.
