      Yinanni loves Huracan but R8's of the same year should have the same techs because all the techs basically came from Audi no matter what Lamborghini says.
      So If Huracan 2015 has a DCT, R8 2015 should have one as well.

      It's an enigma why Audi dropped the signature 'Blade' design behind the doors... Maybe the Bean counters took their chances since you couldn't really replicate the Blade on the spider. Pity anyhow. Should I buy one I'd go for the manual. And they're more common in gen 1 😁

      Disagree. They looked better as they got facelifted over the years. And as far as it being special, if that was the case then it wouldn't be the cheapest one. The original R8 literally has the same horsepower as the BMW M3 did during those same years, except Audi charged way more for the R8. It wasn't anything revolutionary. Just a small displacement V8 sports car sold and marketed as a "super car" when it really wasn't.

      ​@@matpat2636 So for running costs, empty to full on Shell V-Power it's around £120 a pop but as a weekend car, I've only ever filled her up twice in a month max. Road Tax is £735 this year and for insurance, your mileage will vary but I was shocked at mine. Admittedly I'm 35, no points on license, parking on a driveway with no claims and multi car discount but the R8 was only £950 for the year!
      Mat isn't wrong when it comes to the repair costs. General rule of thumb is around £1k (parts & labour) for any small mechanical issue and it goes up from there. Of course that isn't the full story. Apart from a few common issues, R8s are actually pretty damn reliable. My advise is research research research. Find out the common problems and how to spot them. When buying, use that knowledge to walk away from bad deals/negotiate the price down.
      During the over 1.5 years of ownership (and 6K miles) I've spent £1730 for an MOT/major service/seized hand brake and then £1230 for a Valve Control Box replacement for my aftermarket exhaust (not even really counting that as not OEM). REPerformance (THE go to mechanics for R8s) have gone top to bottom and found mine (barring that hand brake) to be in mint condition so I expect to not have to shell out for much at all in the coming years.
      I get it, it's all relative. Compare R8 costs to say a Punto, it will 100% feel like supercar levels. Get yourself a good specimen and then compare it to Ferrari/Lambo, it's actually pretty damn reasonable, maybe even cheap.
