I'd rather have the R8 V10. For $2500 Audi installs the Stassis ECU which removes all the limitations on the motor and tunes it, bringing it to 570HP, all the while maintaining the original 4 year warranty from Audi, and the better build quality.

And (this is of course my opinion) the R8 looks better than the sharp, jagged, and aging Gallardo.

Also, the LP560 doesn't cost slightly more than the R8 V10. A base R8 V10 costs $150K. A fully loaded one costs around $170-180K. A base LP560 costs $210K in the US before you even build it. Then you have to add $1500-$3500 for a color, any color. $10K if you want E-Gear Auto. $4K if you want a cup holder and heated seats. $6K for Navi + Camera. $16K for Carbon Ceramic Brakes (only $9K for the same brakes on the Audi).

If I option out the Lambo with the same/similar options on my brothers R8, it's $170K vs. 240K. Definitely not just a "slightly more". That's pretty much a used GTR or new M3 money.
