Thread: Decision: R8 GT 155/307 over Superleggera

Hey been quite a while since my last post but I got exciting news, however need some opinions from the community. I just recently went to my local Lamborghini dealership to order my Aventador. There is an Arancio Atlas ready to ship from a nearby warehouse but I rather not pay $75,000 over MSRP for something, a color in particular, I do not want. Just my luck a Nero Pegaso (Glossy Black) is already in the works and will be arriving in late June/early July. Wrote a $35,000 deposit check and secured my 1st place slot for the car!

Meanwhile in the other showroom a Nero Superleggera caught my eye and I couldn't resist, I wrote a another check immediately and was looking forward to taking my car home. Nonetheless the car has been recalled and the planetary gears needed to be replace. Just got an update today that the parts will arrive at the end of the week and it will take another 5-7 days for the service to complete. Bummer...yea I'm quite frustrated I couldn't take her home right away so I kept myself busy. Rewinding back to after the test drive a Dolphin Gray R8 GT #155 just stared at me. Wasn't too interested at first but when I walked into the show room R8 GT #307 begged me to take her home. They were asking $300,000 EVEN for the car & I kept that in mind being a huge Audi fan all my life & been wanting an R8. I left the dealership with plenty of thoughts and returned the next day to test drive the R8 GT. Still recovering from my LP570-4 SL fever my expectations were low for the R8 GT, but HOOOOOOOTDAM did it surprise me! Asking price is $201,000 but they cut me a loyalty deal for $199,000 LMAO...

Keeping in mind that I haven't driven the Superleggera off the lot yet.

My questions are:

R8 GT 155: 1 Owner, 3000 Miles, Nutek Wheels, Everything blacked out, $199,000 over $300,000 R8 GT 307?

or Vice Versa.

I also planned on keeping my Superleggera but I know the R8 GT practically has the Gallardo Engine sitting in it. So should I just let the Superleggera go and get the GT? or Keep both?

Money is not an issue this is where logic and practicality stumps me.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. Enjoy the iphone quality.

That's a hell of a good dilemma to have! I'd go for the SL personally, but I haven't driven the R8 GT. I don't think you can make a bad choice here

Get Both.

Black/grey R8 all the way, thats #105 if I read the post correct?

#155.....

Superleggera

I have driven both, I would keep the Orange GT as I believe thats a very special car and it needs that pop. If you are getting the Aventador then no need for the SL. But if money is no object keep them all and enjoy in good health. Now my question is how do we get you to join us on the goldRush Rally and bring that beautiful GT along?

A.) I'd go with the Superleggera. Its lighter, more race inspired, and has WAY less understeer even though its basically the same car.

B.) You're not seriously considering paying 110,000 more just because that other one is new right? 3,000 miles = $110,000 off? I'll take that any day.

The R8GT without question.
It is rarer and that example is simply stunning!!!

HEY....I saw those R8s at Auto Gallery a few weeks ago...since $$$ is no object, why not get them all.
Aventador/Superleggera (incoming/service)
R8 - get the NEW GT!
