    Ron,

    Answer is pretty simple with this prices-997 turbo manual with optional LSD! You can have a nice one for $127K...

    Not sure about the turbo but still have time to give it some thinking before December (delivery time). I won't get my deposit back at this time yet.

    Re: For Ron... US R8 prices

    WOW if this is true, the Project Manager at the 'Armory Show' was absolutely spot on. He told me that the base R8 was going to be almost $110,000

    Re: For Ron... US R8 prices

    110k = SLK 55 AMG here. Doesn't sound that bad

    Sorry Mike, but I would never buy SLK55 AMG.
    For the same money 997 GT3 is far, far better choice IMHO...

    Re: For Ron... US R8 prices

    A little off-topic, but what is e-tronic? is that the audi dsg?

    I thought it's the Lamborghini E-gear.

    Re: For Ron... US R8 prices

    thats quite a high price for the r8. makes me wonder what regions the r12 will be selling at.
    nice car but too expensive for what it is in my opinion

    Thanks for info Kreso. If I take all of the above options (which I will) it would be $133,000. That is definitely in 997tt terrictory. But I will still take it over a 997tt. But I have to say price-wise, Audi is at the maximum end of the envelope. Any more (i.e. $3k to $4k more, then it would be a tough sell.

    Hey Kreso, is it reasonable to expect Rtronic to cost $9000?

    Re: For Ron... US R8 prices

    Ron,
    Just some food for thought:
    Aston V8 Vantage: 113K base plus 4 k for sportshift. Full leather, metallic paint are standard. Nav and upgraded sound system options similar in price to the R8.

    Re: For Ron... US R8 prices

    Tony, this prices seems to be legit. They are all over the internet right now. Source is a guy who works for Audi dealership is USA.

    BTW, in Germany R-Tronic cost 7390Euro.

    Re: For Ron... US R8 prices

    Not a bad option .

    Hi Kreso,

    I would also never buy the SLK - just used it as a indication of price here. That would mean the R8 will be around 200k here

    Re: For Ron... US R8 prices

    110k US = Boxster S here

    Re: For Ron... US R8 prices

    I would take the Vantage over the R8 at that pricepoint. I don't know why Audi did this to themselves...They should have shelved it at C4s pricepoint and started chomping away at Porsche. I guess the takeover is comming to reality

    Another data point - I think F1 gearbox on Ferraris is over $10k...

    Re: For Ron... US R8 prices

    120K approx for one I would option out starting with the 6speed. Pretty steep and thats not even including the dealer markup these things will have for the first 9 months

    Grant, at least in Germany the price for the Ferrari F1 is 6910 Euro, which means even less than the price of Audi (not to speak about Lamborghini).

    And I guess Porsche's PDK won't be that far away, price-wise.

    Ron: Skip R-tronic. full leather and anything with carbon in it. You don't need all that "crap"

    Get the a manual with convenience package, small leather, navigation, Bang Olufsen, non-carbon sideblade and metallic paint.
    All this can be yours for only 119.950

    Just do it

    Re: For Ron... US R8 prices

    Tim,
    I agree with you regarding manual(also my choice)!

    Problem is that 90% of US costumers will order R-Tronic and this version of R8 is simply priced too high in USA.

    Re: For Ron... US R8 prices

    very eexpensive...25k more than the base s8... what were they thinking?

    I guess they will sell the car at the same price all around the globe. The Americans are of course complaining, because most of the time, their cars are heavily discounted (except for Ferrari), so getting a full-price vehicle does send chills down their spines.

    Welcome to the real world

    Re: For Ron... US R8 prices

    Yeh, I wouldn't be surprised if European cars started costing a lot more in the States with the dollar continuing to weaken and currency hedges expire.

    Re: For Ron... US R8 prices

    15K too high.
    They are priced way too close to 997TT.

    But again, if they want to sell less than 1,000 in the US, at that price point they might.

    As mentionned above, same price as a AMV8 but without the exclusivity and brand mystique.

    The TT is just too good value in the US (Z06 apart).

    That's because Porsche prices cars to be cheaper in the US. Had Porsche used the same base prices as in Europe, the Turbo would cost almost as much as the 430.
