At least the R8 is 10s quicker on the NBR (assuming the above figure can be verified by SportAuto) than the 997s for a similar price...
I'm afraid that with a few "must have" options, and acording to the german Audi page pricelist, the R8 climbs to somewhere to 140k euro, so not so "similar" price to a 977s...maybe similar to a Turbo, yet, another league.
Well, obviously everything depends on your country of residence. For Germany, I have just derived the following (incl. VAT):
(all cars with adequate and comparable options):
997s PK (381hp): Euro 130.000
R8 (420hp): Euro 121.000
997s (355hp): Euro 118.000
Given that even the 997s with PK is slower than the R8 plus the R8 is AWD (which would another 7k in case of the 997 4s...) I would argue that the R8 is very reasonably priced.
The R8 is nearly 20.000 Euros cheaper than a 997 4s with PK. And (to be confirmed) 10s faster around the ring. Also, straight line acceleration is slightly better.
Any more questions
