    Talk me out of a R8 V10

    Honestly just forget both. The Maz is pretty but just old and slow. The Audi is crazy and OTT. Get a Porsche Turbo S. Proper car thats very comfortable and would eat most Ferrrari's for breakfast. I think you are getting into Chiron territory to beat its 0-60 time. And they dont depreciate...

    Getting back to the original question, please note what is 14 places above the Strad in the Top Gear lap times.........yep the old 2010 R8...........that too in damp conditions.

    Rockits - yep agree but the you really think the Maserati is a supercar? I doubt it could even keep up with a BMW M4. It is beautiful and stylish, something you can fall in love with easily but it isnt a performer in the league of some of the cars that are being talked about here. And thats...

    I have a deposit down on a 488. Im scared at making the commitment to buy one though. Worried that I would be too scared to really enjoy it. Ferrari being amazing is beyond doubt!

    BTW Rockits - I never said I thought the Audi looked better than the Maz ! Just making that point so there is no confusion on my view lol

    I would love one. I bought the Audi as a bit of a stop gap. Got it for £130k - 1 month old and 200 miles only on the clock. Listed at £153k I think. My dream car would be a Ferrari - I have never owned one.

    Its got a Lambo engine!! It is a serious supercar and it is bananas. The interior is great. Any more Lambo madness and it would be a Lambo.......ok maybe not! And comparing it to a TT is worse than me saying my wife has a Levante and its the same as my GTS. Or a Ghibli. The TT is a decent...

    I would def take a 458 over an R8 of course! I don't need to drive my car daily so the Ferrari would be a viable option. But quite a different price bracket when you compare like to like. Price up a new 488 for example and compare it - prob will cost in the region of £220k.

    I know people will be upset with what I am saying. So I apologise for my posts. Bottom line is I would buy another maz in a heartbeat.

    At the Audi list price there isn't a huge amount of Supercar choice. You have to move up to £200k to get some proper kit and similar performance. I don't think the comparison is wholly fair. Do you think the average punter could tell the difference between a £100+k new GTS and the ones on...

    I promise you, it does. But also from idiots. And every other Audi owner feels the need to tailgate you.....

    Talk me out of a R8 V10

    The R8 list with options was £153k. From recollection the list on my Maz was £108k(?) but that was over 4 years ago. Not sure about the Strad but the R8 gets much more attention than my GTS. A lot lot more. I am now getting put off by it. And mine is in boring black too. The new R8 is...
