Build quality is apparently a different story as OP states.
Just FYI. The old R8 V10 needed 11.8 seconds to 200 km/h. The facelifted version with DCT ca. 10.8 and the new one 9.8 seconds. The Huracan needs 9.9 seconds (at least officially). Colleagues have tested with 9.6 seconds. But we have yet to wait for the real numbers of the R8.

Top Speed R8 - 330 km/h
Top Speed Huracan - 325 km/h
