Still looks like a TT to me. I see the latest design idea that Audi has on their models but this make it look even more like the TT...
As for price, right now, you can buy a brand new Huracan for mid 190k, for a 5k difference compared to the R8 plus model it's really a no brainer for me...

With 187k euros it'll be starting at 200k USD (R8 V10+ was 172k euros and 184k USD). Sadly we don't get Huracans for that cheap. The cheapest outgoing ok configuration is still 260k. That extra 60k is a very hard sell, personally the R8 interior is better as its refined and no dummy or blank switches. However the little paddles suck. I really hope there is something more to our 60k+ losses. Styling is questionable but everyone cried over the Huracan too so we have to wait for proper colors to appear. I'm not sure if the name alone is worth 60k anymore.
Before anyone saids some nonsense about paying for the brand and the lifestyle is better blah blah. Please only spew that bs if you've committed to the lifestyle. When someone shows me their Lambo with their Lambo phone ($7,000 S5) and their Lambo watch, we can talk. Most people wouldn't pay $6500 more for a Lamborghini phone even though it is exclusive and a lifestyle right? People pay for features and as of now I don't see any extra.
If the R8 has no lifting feature, then Huracan it is. Otherwise the Huracan is a money pisser

Also, I'm still keeping my second huracan because its more of a sentimental achievement for me more than anything.

Talked with my Audi dealer and the order guide is under NDA, but I configured it same spec as my Huracan and it was roughly 38k cheaper. The biggest seller is the color choices, interior choices, paddles, and exhaust cracks on the Huracan. Still a pretty penny, but the Lamborghini is more raw and exciting.

It it nice,but the Huracan is at a whole different level with looks and is way more exclusive.The extra money for a Lamborghini (if you have it) well spent.I also may buy another Huracan for the hell of it...
Got to let go of the 991 Turbo S.... Also,great machine,but ,nothing to a Huracan....

Those pics of a new R8 are sooo bland and boring. And Hurricane (admin) is right, it's slightly upgraded TT, that's all. C'mon Audi, you can do better than that...
People who would even slightly consider R8 over Huracan need ophthalmologist's emergency visit.
