Trading the 2014 Turbo S for the 2014 R8Plus?
Hi,
I'm thinking of doing a 1 for 1 trade of my Turbo S for the 2014 R8 Plus similar specs and mileage. I test drove a regular 2014 R8 a while back and it is an exciting car to drive compares to the Turbo S even though it's slower in every aspect. I want to know what you're though on it. What are the Pros and Cons of the R8 compares to the TTS? I have a ByDesign Stage 2 on my Turbo S right now and if I keep the car I will move forward with Stage 3 or 4. If I get the R8, well, I may do an ECU tune. Thanks for your feedbacks. |
R8 is a lot more eye-catching, that is for sure. Are you looking a gated manual spec? I don't remember what year they discontinued that tranny. Good luck!

The R8 is a S-Tronic automatic.

The R8 (in all variants) is a really nice sounding, comfortable, reliable car. The only thing an Audi R8 does faster than a TTS, however, is depreciate. I'm an Audi guy and chose the TTS over the R8 because it is a sleeper supercar that is a more comfortable daily driver. The V8 sound is way nicer than that on a modded TTS.
If you feel you want a change, it's a nice trade though. |
The guy who owned my car before me traded it in on a R8 v10 plus spyder and I heard through the grapevine he misses the Porsche as it is not a throwable and can not dive in and out of lanes as easily. The car is a looker and does sound great though. |
I wouldn't do it, not for a 2014. I would consider it if we were talking about a newer body style.

I had a 2014 R8 V10 Convertible for a day a couple years back. The s-tronic transmission is not that great (not dual clutch) - i think it got updated in 2016. The V10 engine is great and sounds much better than a TT. I found it to be heavy and not very tossable. Gets a lot of attention - its pretty. Nice for a few days but Id get tired of it after a while. And then i'd be back in my TT.

Thanks everyone for the your feedbacks!!!! still on the fence here

Looks like the trade won't happen due to logistics and time constraint. I will be sticking with the TTS until it gets sold, shipped, or trade again in the future.
