I've had two 2017 V10+ R8s, at the end of the day I felt like they were too good. Just no drama at all, in comfort mode it felt like an A4. Race mode obviously made it louder/more aggressive but I still didn't fall in love with it. Just my two cents though.
Same experience here, had a 2015 R8-V8 gated manual and same exact feeling, looked beautiful, even with the manual should have been easy to fall in love with it but got bored with it and got rid of it... I couldn't wait to buy it and was attracted to it but after driving it for a few weeks, felt bland and something was missing... luckily didn't take a bath on resale but no longer into R8's of any generation, look super sexy on outside, everything logically says it should be awesome, in the end too perfect, NO SOUL....

Well from what I'm seeing the R8's don't move off the showroom very fast. Several of the ads I've seen show them sitting on the floor since spring of 2020. Stark contrast to the the GT3 Touring where if you blinked at the wrong time you may miss out on a car that you wanted.

I had a 2017 R8 prior to the GT3. Great car but as you alluded to something was missing. When my son asked why I was getting rid of the R8 for the GT3 I replied, "The R8 is like James Bond but the GT3 is like John Wick - they both get the job done but in very different ways". When we went for a spin he got it.

'19 RS where I got my regular one. Weissach package with sofas, didn't realize that was a thing.
(some poor photo-chopping... wing absent in some pics) GT3 RS
I’ve been considering a gt3/touring or turbo (some DD usage) and I happened to see a Signal Yellow GT3 the other day. I haven’t stopped thinking about it, something I am yet to do with a turbo. I was not a yellow guy, but that’s since changed. Now, if I could just stumble across a pts signal yellow gt3.

I feel the same way about the that light green I keep seeing. These cars look so good in the bright color.
So nice, I am planning to get a GT3 RS with hopefully Weissach pkg like this in 6 months to a year. Hopefully market settles by then, this is a very nice spec.
