I just looked up some upgrades for it.. Seems like the engine has nice potential. ECU, exhaust, and air filters might see 50hp gains.
I went for a nice ride in an R8 last night. Definitely an amazing machine but a tad underpowered. 50 more hp would be amazing - the engine is so smooth and responsive as it is.
*Those numbers might be optimistic and exaggerated... But that's what I read.
Either way, a little more power and a little weight loss (wheels, exhaust) would make this one well-rounded machine.
Capristo also makes a nice exhaust system.

I see no point in tuning one now and voiding your warranties on a first year car, when the v10 is just around the corner and will offer just as much stock performance NA. Not to mention it's on a newly designed engine, similar to the LP560.
