Those Audi V10s are pretty solid and the clutches are 10x better then the previous gen Gallardos. From what I understand is that most parts between the 2nd gen Gallardos and V10 R8s can be cross shopped, so you can take your Gallardo to any Audi dealer for most maintenance.
Its not like anyones telling him to go get a 04 Murcielago for 120k, running cost for that would maybe be 1$-2$ per mile

TY! I was thinking it was closer to the old Gallardo.
I checked out R8 talk and the newest R8 V10 isn't that much at all.
Here's a response from one of the members that just purchased a 2015 R8:
dpe, when I purchased my 2015 R8 V10, the business manager broke down the scheduled maintenance cost as follows:
5000 mile = FREE
15,000 mile or year 2 = $603.31
25,000 mile or year 3 = $425.94
35,000 mile or year 4 = $961.30
45,000 mile or year 5 = $425.94
Total is $2,416.49
That should give you a rough idea as to what it cost to maintain one of these.
I'm going to change my vote to the R8. Apparently the older R8's have a pretty low maintenance schedule as well. If you're going to get something that costs this much, make sure it stands out as something totally different.
Your original choices:
- 991 Turbo - Epic performance for sure, parked next to a true exotic it becomes invisible. Not different enough compared to others you can get.
- Aston Martin DBS - Yes, maintenance cost of these is an arm and a leg. Looks fantastic and sounds even better, but may not do it in the end.
- Jaguar F-Type R - Great car for sure, just too similar to the V6 model and ends up being similar as the 911 for not being different enough.
- AMG GTS - I saw one in real life. I liked it! Definitely worth while looking at. Super interior IMHO.
