If you want all the middle-school boys in your neighborhood slobbering over, and wanking to, it, then the Audi is your pick (there's one in our neighborhood). Otherwise the P-car is a much better value performance-to-pricewise.

Or am I thinking of the mistress?
R8 is a great car, but I'll never own an Audi out of warranty.

Why so many negative thoughts about the R8? I have an 09' base Carrera and just recently acquired an R8 V10 plus. I cannot say it's better than the 911 coz I hav'nt driven it that much but I'm keeping my Carrera because it's pretty reliable and I can fix it myself.
Here is a video of the delivery.

Maybe as a track car, but it would not be a great option for DD or high mileage. I did a little cross shopping because just be be sure on the porsche. I was really surprised by the lackluster interior, and that's comparing it to a porsche! Maybe the newest ones are better, as i did not get a chance to see the latest model.

1) 1998.5 A4 V6 -- traded in for #3. 120K miles.
2) 1999 A6 Avant V6 -- rear-ended and totaled @ 80K miles
3) 2005 S4 Cabriolet -- traded in for 2011 Carrera S Cab, 95K miles
4) 2011 Q5 -- my DD and family hauler, 50K miles with no issues so far (knock on wood)
That said, I am a fan of extended warranties and our cars have them until 2017 and 2018, respectively. Just to help me sleep peacefully at night.
