Let's say that we have around 500-600k
Can get any of these 2 second hand one.
Which is a better option?
I think r8 will Give more head turnings but gtr is more powerful car rite? Comparing price I think gtr is one of best bang for bucks in the sportscar world. Cheap and powerful.
Is the r8 considered underpowered?

i would get the R8 manual, if u prefer auto, get GTR
R8 is also very very powerful

there are r8 came with v10

under power????

Given that budget - GTR.

I think the powerful r8 is the newer ones year 2011 like spyder version and v10?
Rite now I'm talking about the older version r8 which is now price drop to around 600 k, I'm not sure the hp I can't remember but i think it lose to most other sport cars no?

In term of horsie power the Audi r8 quattro 4.2 v8 is lacking compared to Nissan gtr35 but might be compensated by curb weight of which the r8 only weight about 1300kg while the gtr35 weight at 1750. In between the two, I'll get Audi r8 as it is more elegant and premium compared to gtr35. A continental car vs Japanese. Take your pick.

if i got such money i confirm go for r8. i believe the maintenance are both equally expensive :s

Somehow I feel r8 is true sport car but gtr is a little bit below sport car class.
Anyways I just checked the 2011 r8 v10 has 525 hp while gtr has 530 hp. Quite close. Price does differ by a range. Now r8 new is 1.25 mil but anyone know how much gtr new cost?

performance wise GTR own them all...stock out from factory it can east porsh already,wat more if u chg the exhaust and retune the ecu,such simple mod u can get at least 600hp

R8 for me will be a chick magnet but if your own chick,make sure she always wear jeans because getting in and out will always flash her feminine side to onlooker

bang for bucks, need to say anymore?

gtr pwned R8 V10

R8 FTW...not about performance but is about the luxury and sporty look.

I like R8 very much because of its look. GTR is real strong and more wide space. But use on the road, u cant put these car to the limit, so i will go for R8.

my vote goes to R8. It's got something that GTR doesn't have: "class"...

If you get a pre 2009 GTR R35, be prepared to be faced with gearbox overheating issues.

Also GTR's are known that you need to service your gearbox after several thousand KM (about 4-5k), the cost to service your gearbox can reach to about RM12,000. I got a friend selling his Stage 1 GTR if you are interested. He priced it at RM400k.

Hard to choose....Godzilla or Tony Stark....

GTR is the faster car of the 2.

BUT the R8 is hand-built.

R8 is definitely much moer of a headturner than gtr

Last week, was working at a place where a 911, F430 & R8 parked side-by-side.

When I look at them over & over again, can't help but feel the R8 is really something special.

Cant compare power, so.
Performance wise > GTR
Fame > R8 V10

GTR
-fast
-'cheap'
-sound like a vacuum cleaner
-2+2 seats

R8
-slower
-more expensive
-sexy as hell
-v8 sounds vroom vroom

if me, i would pick R8 over GTR. but if i have small kids ill go for the gtr.

Both the GT-R and R8 are two very different machines. Like everyone has said already, for best bang for buck, not many comes as close as the GT-R. It is incredibly fast; faster in fact than most Ferraris or Lambos... on track. On the road, performance is close between the R8 and GT-R and it would really depend on what you are looking for.

Do you do more track time, than you would grocery? If so, get a GT-R. It will be the more rewarding car of the two. Me, I don't go on track so I'd take the R8. For me, looks are just as important as performance, and the R8 stands out a lot more than the 'Zilla.

Just my 2 cents.

Gtr maintainence much cheaper compared to r8.

R8 maintainence is da same as ferrari

If you can afford both cars, don't mention about maintenance

For me, I am more towards performance so the GTR is the one I will get

For the R8, I will definitely go for the V10 version instead of the V8

I agree with the statement above that r8 is true pusssy magnet Lol...

GTR

Read more. GTR is also hand assembled.

To buyer, a GTR is a no brainer. More aftermarket parts here. R8 tuning stuff is pretty limited. That is if you are going to have fun with it. But if you just want something that u buy and go, either car would work. I don't think anyone who owns either have time to work out at Sepang. So in the end both are almost the same. But for looks R8 is the better looking one.

R8 is an Audi

GTR is..........a datsun

enough said

QFT
but even now, i still see Datsun from 80-era running...
my vote to.. GT-R

and best way is

What is the market price for both car? i saw 400k+ for GTR in carlist.my. That's 2nd hand price?

r8 , the v8 sound. the v8 engine shape and can be seen behind the glass.

400k+ is recond GTR 2008 premium model
Any later years will be more expensive

Don't mind my question, you own both cars?

Like what Jeremy Clarkson say, both car are comfortable and good in performance. But definitely GTR R35 will beat Audi R8 V8 version, it is tested and GTR R35 beats quite a lot of super car right there.

For me I will still go for Audi R8 instead, love the design and the sound.

If i have the proper, I would get R8. Much nicer. Perhaps GTR is faster, but

at my place, there is no need to drive that fast anyway. It is all about the

looks. So handsome

And the design is so futuristic, won't get outdated so fast.

R8 anytime..

R8 > GTR
but for now, GTR..

GTR is great, but the full potential revealed on the track as a pure blooded race heritage.
most of the time OTR, it gives me this a saloon like car feeling. just like most other jap sport car: evo, impreza, gtr.

of coz for rm500k+, i would not buy a car that look like norm.
a more prestage & luxury bits are always welcome, hence R8 matches my taste.

if i were you, i would think twice of getting the r8 because theres always a better option.... the porsche.

agreed... but between an R8 & GTR, surely R8. hey, learn from Tony Stark. R8 is a sure ***** magnet.
