More RWS models in Audi's line-up in the future, I imagine. I'm not certain if it's true but I read the R8 RWS is Audi's first RWD-only road car - and I'd be surprised if it was the last in the RS line-up.

Because doesn't work as a family car therefore limited daily vehicle. My Sport Turismo is also much better for these roads and a better DD in most cases. What surprises me is that theGT3T rides more stiff than my old GT4 but I am careful where I take it since they are patching potholes from the winter.

An R8 is even less practical than a GT3. Even less storage space if you can believe it!
Although both could be a great DD if you only need 2 seats.
It does look more exotic if that matters.
Which keys would you grab if you had a GT3 sitting next to an R8?

picking up my R8 RWS Apr 28
I'm picking up my R8 RWS next Saturday, Apr 28.
In Canada, the ONLY option is black or white, that's it..... I'm in the Greater Toronto Area and had to drive ~400km to Ottawa to get mine.... and was told by all the GTA Audi dealers (about 8-10 of them?) that all R8 RWS allocations have been spoken for since last fall/winter.... I missed out on the 911.2 GT3 lottery therefore I'm going with the R8 RWS, hope this will hold value enough to give me some equity towards perhaps a 992 GT3 down the road....

The R8, in any style, unfortunately is just not moving. Only thing harder to move might be the new NSX.

My .2 GT3 every time unless I was looking for a more Touring type of day. I had a 2011 V10 Spyder that I bought with 2000 miles in 2013 and drove it for 3 months and traded for a 2014 .1 allocation. Exoctic looking sure but driving it was not that inspiring
