To answer your original question, the R8 is the modern-day, overpriced NSX that has plenty of competitors that offer better performance and a cheaper price tag.

And IMHO the R8 is fugly to boot. Of course the GTR is no beauty queen either. The word "classic" will likely never be applied to either of these cars styling whereas the NSX was a head turner when it first hit the showroom and has indeed become a classic.

R8 buyers can actually afford to buy an R8, GTR "buyers" are all 14 and deeply saddened that they cant use their forza 2 credits to buy one in real life.
