There is no doubt that the Audi R8 is an amazing car, but its in a totally different category when it comes to sports car, Audi has focus this car on the European Super Car market, to compete with such cars as, Porsche 911 Carrera, Ferrari F430, Lamborgini Gallardo and Aston Martin Vantage.
The price point on this car is around $110,000.00
The Japanese sports car Manufacturers are looking at introducing their super cars in the $40,000 - $60,000 dollar range to back up there philosophy of providing affordable sports car. Now this is just what my opinion is based on what they have done in the past.
