A 430 will always be a better car than the R8 to drive/own because it is why Ferrari exist. They exist to race cars, though I would admit that it is a business they have never sold bread and butter cars.

An Audi R8 is a gorgeous very capable car I am sure, but Audi have only just started building supercars.

I would have any Ferrari over the R8 (money aside). If someone offered me an R8 for free I would sell it, buy myself an F355 and RS4 or S4 with the change for my daily and still have the glorious sound the R8 makes with the practicality of the A4 . I would keep the 430 for high days and holidays and not get it wet for fear it would melt (though being brand new it won't)

The 430 with a Tubi or Capristo exhaust is something else, not to mention a 430 Scuderia.

This is IMHO of course.

To be fair, a Volkswagen Audi or a Fiat Ferrari.

Per below, not bad for a Fiat.

Or a Beetle Audi
The F40 is cracking car but I much prefer the 288GTO which was the base for F40 more..
