Come on you have to add the GT3/GT3 RS...

The R8 looks sweet - but come talk to me in 5 years when it looks dated.

My only beef with porsche is the fact that its the same damn body with some different add ons. I wish the Gt3/gt2/turbo looked completely different. Possibly a mix between a regular carrera and a gt.

This audi is sick without a doubt but at the end of the day its still an audi and for the price they are asking I rather have something more exotic such as an aston martin or a gallardo. My .02
thanks for the pictures jon.

You mean compared to Audi where the A4, S4 and RS4 all look different?

It's the 911 Turbo/GT2/GT3(RS) so no wonder they use the same bodystyle as a base.

I saw one several months ago on the highway in Tampa. Good thing I had my camera phone. The guy at the Audi dealer didn't believe me till I showed him the pics

I know you're trying to bash Audis again, but you actually make a good point (intentionally or not).

I think the level of visual/performance aggression increases from A4 --> RS4 just like it does from Carrera --> GT3 RS. Plain, spicy, or hot... My complaint about the R8 (and really the only complaint) is that it is styled for the moment. Cars like that usually age visually very quickly (within 5 years or so).

I think the R8 body will still be beautiful 20 years from now. It's a work of art.

There is no comparison in looks between a GT3/GT3 RS and an R8. The R8 is so much sleeker and cleaner than the Porsche. As much as I love the RS, the R8 wins hands down. Let us know what you think after actually seeing the car in person.
