Sorry, have to call BS on that one. I had the pleasure of hearing an R8 start up and idle at the valet lobby at the St Regis in SF and the sound was incredible. When it took off through the city streets the noise just rocked. The RS4, which I've spent a bunch of time in, is one of the best sounding cars currently made and the R8 takes it to 13.
As big a Porsche nut as I am, I'd take an R8 over a TT even with the lack of back seats. There's barely anything separating them performance wise for us mortals and the R8 has the bonus of making that power naturally aspirated. A fully optioned R8 stickers right around a stripped TT price wise. The R8 has amazing presence and is totally fresh looking. The interior is beautiful.

Porsche is buying Audi.....
(may have already bought).... I have had 8 Audi's and all of them were great except for some fatal flaw.....each was different in that regard.
