V8 -V10 Manual or R tronic ??

[Graeme4130]

I'm also thinking of adding a R8 but a V10.... tossing the coin really between the R8 V10 or a Lambo Gallardo... decisions decisions... Anyone had both and can give advice?.

I was dead set on a gallardo until I had a days use of a v10+
It's certainly not the 'occasion' of driving a Lamborghini, but the sub £80-90k gallardos that were in my price range are really starting to show and feel their age and the driving position and offset pedals feel like a joke
Unless you get one of the later LP series gallardo's, a v10+ R8 is a miles better car and won't cost you a fortune every time you take it to get fixed

Assume Gallardo has the same prehistoric tech?

Thanks Fella. I have decided to go for a V10+ R8 just waiting for a right spec'd one to come up. Had my eyes on a lovely Estoril blue one but didn't have the bucket seats which put me off.

So someone ordered a V10+ and then took the bucket seats off the spec?!

Isn't a + just buckets, 'ramics and some carbon bits anyway!

[HYFR]

A plus is buckets, ramics, S-Tronic, +25PS, specific suspension (not mag ride), loads of carbon fibre, GT Wheels and other bits and pieces.

Basically a great half way house between a std V10 and a hardcore GT.

Defo the one to have if buying at the £90k mark.

But at low £60's a std V10 represents stonking VFM.

I sold my red one 9 months ago for £60k and I bet its still worth that now all day long.

In fact, I sold my white full spec V10 coupe a 15 months ago for £66k and again, I recon its prob worth £62/3k now...phenomenonal depreciation and the V8's have not only stabalised in value, but have gone up with good V8's now £50k

If you have the cash, an R8 is one very very very cheap way to have a slice of Lambo supercar.

Yes the bucket seats comes as standard on the V10+ but you can choose the comfort seats for a no cost option.... WHY....

Estoril Blue for the win! I've had mine a few months now and couldn't be happier. it does have the bucket seats though

[doodlebug]

Options in Estoril with buckets are going to be limited. Most of the Estoril cars are Audi UK or ex-demo all with sports seats, give or take. With Eatoril having been dropped they'll be no more new cars added to what's already out there.

I'd definitely avoid Matt Sepang. The two I've seen were swirl marked to buggery.

[classba]

This is the one I was tempted with from Crawley Audi... think it's sold.

[doodlebug]

They've had it up for ages too. That's one of the original demo cars hence sports seats.
