The R8 isn't really that cheap anymore. V10/Plus comes in $170-185K. i have to believe there will be a modest price increase for the new one as well, so the new R8 will probably be around $180K in decent spec.

That's a far cry from the $114K starting price they advertise for the V8. It's highly likely the V8 disappears with the next one and just has a V10.
