Performance wise R8 wins. But as DD, I would say Vantage. It is more discret and has better dimenssions, 2 seats and trunk not too low and not too wide. IMO Vantage looks more classy, and not is not such a head turner as R8. A head turner is not very nice as a DD.

i think R8 mihgt be better built to be a DD cuz, after all, it's an Audi.. shouldn't have as many issues and problems a regular exotic like AM would have... but just my guesss. oh and R8 looks bad ass tho might be too much of a head turner compare to vantage

R8. Mid Engine and easy to live with according to articles. They also had a long term test for around 6months on edmunds and boy were they impressed by it's usability. .
