Default I need an opinion...

I ordered a 911-50 and it is currently on its way (December 24 delivery). I'm very excited. Here is my issue. I currently own a 2014 Audi R8 V10 S-tronic and a 2013 Audi S6.. I going to let one go... Not sure which one to let go. Seems silly to have two sports cars. I know it's a nice problem to have.

Technically you will have two sports cars and a Porsche 911.

impossible to answer without more info !

Will you be happy with the 911-50 as a dd, or do you see it as an "investment" ? Big family ? ...

Keep all 3. You'll have a front, mid and rear engine car.

Sell the R8, keep the S6 for DD duty and use the 911-50 for the nice days.

Keep the S6….I have a 911S and new M5. This combination works beautifully because both driving needs are met. The M5 is my wife, the 911 is my girlfriend.

Easy answer:

2013 S6 Estoril Blue for daily drive (shown in background)

2014 C4S Cab Sapphire Blue for fun

Ok, I'm partial to blue.

In order to make an informed decision I will need to borrow the R8 for 4-12 weeks. I will pay for shipping.

Let me know where to have it picked up.

All good answers... Still not sure. Leaning towards letting the R8 go. I get way to much attention in it. It's almost scary sometimes. I do love the car though. I have owned 2 997.2, one was a GTS and I really missed it after it left the stable.
