Shafted is the keyword

R8's start at ~US$115k for the base model in the US. Fair price for a great car, IMO

Blame audi for price gauging, and the gov't for implementing the LCT.

Surprisingly, Audi is selling cars here like hotcakes despite the prices.

The R8 is a stunning piece of kit.
I have had the pleasure of driving one and it is seriously fast, and looks and sounds superb:)

Should checkout the TT V12 Q7, it is MASSIVE!!!!

Brunotheboxer · 3 May 2011, 11:14 AM

For the money I'd much rather have this.

My realistic Grail hopefully someday.

The Audi wouldnt stand a chance.

Stonedcl · 3 May 2011, 12:51 PM

I mention the skyline last page.. How much is a skyline gtr in austrailia?
Do. You guys have Infinti, Acura and lexus in austrailia..

I know infiniti opened shop in Europe but they still go by Nissan in some parts of the world like the infiniiti m37 is the Nissan fuga, the qx56 is the Nissan patrol..
So do u guys have those nissans or do u have infinite yet?

New GTR is about AU$160k + ORC here.
Acura is Honda and yes we do have Lexus.

A very nice car, built like no other.

With the recent price increase, i think they just went up another notch :(. $170k + ORC i think.

tempted to try one out; but obviously no dealer will bother to give me the keys to it.

as for honda, nothing in the honda range excites me, despite my mom owning a Legend (RL for the yankees!).
As for lexus, only the LFA,ISF and LS460 is of any interest to me.

Too bad the GTR is a Nissan.

It would up the university's profile. I'd have to get the vice chancellor one of course. He can have the big guns. I'll do with the middle model.

Dont forget the V12 Diesel R8 if you want to save on fuel economy

R8 V12 TDI storms to 62mph in 4.2 seconds and maxes out at 186mph, it also manages to get 23 MPG.

boa2 · 4 May 2011, 12:38 AM

My wife and I were fortunate to spend a half a day at the track in an R8...amazing car!

Maxtor · 4 May 2011, 12:47 AM

I know everyone loves this car but it doesn't really appeal to me.

Maybe if I drove one I would feel differently.

For me the best all around sports car for under $125K is still Porsche 911.

SLRdude · 4 May 2011, 01:03 AM

They are a daily encounter here in N Dallas where I work and spend most of my time.
To me... and that's just my opinion... the style is just not all there. It just doesn't have that "something" that makes it a supercar. It's almost like a big Audi TT.
