Why are V8 Audi R8s so (relatively) cheap?
I get that it's not the V10, but the difference in price is absurd. You still get supercar styling and 430 horsepower, I don't get it.

Because it’s not a v10……

People buy the R8 for the V10.

Same reason the 4 cylinder cayman didn’t sell well and they had to bring back the flat 6.

Same reason the new C63 has literally 0 sales - people want the V8, not a 4 cylinder.

It’s the unique selling point.

A lot of the car market is low, for some models, the V8 R8 included. Even the V10s which used to command £50k are now early £40s.

I think it’s insane how quickly people forgot what a normal car price is. I’m looking at reviews for poorly equipped vehicles selling for $40k and people are calling them values. Like on what planet? Plastic steering wheel, manual climate controls, cloth seats, 4cyl engine, etc etc and $40k is “value”. How can I be mad at OEMs and dealers when there are idiots buying these things?
