I've never driven one (sadly pulled out of Audi driving experience) but I'd think a prime selling point is the sound of the V10. Has the R8 ever really been about absolutely insane performance? I was thinking the supercar experience is more about having the responsiveness and noise of a high revving NA v10 in conjunction with mid-engine weight balance. I enjoyed the recent comparison between the GT-R and R8 on motor trend.
Isn't the current biturbo V8 in the S6/S7/S8/RS7 a better performer?
