lambo vs. Audi maintenance costs

[MacDaddy]

so I found this video posted on Facebook talking about how it costs $1.50 per mile in maintenance to own a gallardo. Of course he's only using oem parts and getting the dealer to do all the work so gee whiz it's costing so much. I think if I was taking my b5 s4 into the dealer for everything I probably wouldn't be far off that number, just last week I found my throttle body was hooped, that would have probably been a $1500 bill at Audi.

What do you guys think, real or BS, and how much would you say the Audi costs you per mile or km?

my estimate of cost per mile can be summed up with the following:

This. The Gallardo/R8 actually isn't too much to maintain.

As far his costs, the clutch is a big cost on any performance car for the most part- particularly if you're paying for labor. It's not significantly different on even a new S4 versus a Gallardo or R8. Same with tires, although I don't think most are wearing through PSS in 7-10k either, but I guess it depends if the car is only used for special occasions/spirited driving versus more normal usage.

E-Gear failure is a one time thing and I wouldn't really factor that into the ongoing costs.

Servicing a high end exotic isn't much more then a run of the mill euro car. Only time the bill really skyrockets is when parts break and you pay the "exotic tax". For example: bosch 3 bar map sensors for McLaren 12c will run you $300 at the dealer (just for the two parts) but through Chevy (identical bosch part numbers) they'll run you $50 haha
