R8 is an awsome car, i am trying to get my mums boyfriend to get one, i drove a 911 today though and have told him to test drive both as this thing was the best thing i think i will ever drive. Only thing is the r8 has a 2 year wating list, porsche is less!
Agreed the R8 is some car - much better in the flesh when you see it. That said, I can't believe it would be better than a 911 to drive. No contest there IMHO. Audi have not yet made a car with the desirability or the dymanics of a Porsche. I've owned and driven both marques over the years and whilst the current Audi build quality and design is superb, the sheer Porsche driving experience is unmatched by a very long way.

I've seen it in flesh several times, both on the move and in a show room. Yeah, it has shapes, a bit futuristic, but nothing special, really, just another sports car. A yellow Gallardo you really NOTICE.
