Stitching and special side blades (or is that a protector) might cost a bit. Still they're probably trying to play on how the 18s have been sitting at port so long and are rare blah blah blah.

They were $200k when I bought my TTS a year or so ago. Big jump from the previous. Reminded me of the GTR price bump. Supply and demand.

Shit, the R8 used to be the go to ''cheap'' super car....

For that price i would look elsewhere, especially with the terrible resale value Audi has.

That's not wrong. Gen.2 R8 V10 Plus has been over $200K ever so the fully loaded one with some port install options and nonsense accessories would get to $223K easily. Although the room for negotiation is very big since Audi can't sell the current R8 very well.

Yeah they have a $4K bonus if you bought and Audi before.

This is marked up. Even with the exclusive matte finish, it should only be about $211K. So they are marking it up, since my guess is that the sideblades are wrapped as well, as there is no exclusive option for that color of sideblade.

Can't you get approval for almost any color? I thought it was just an approval required from the powers that be.

Yeah idk what they're thinking asking almost $15k over list. Plus those side blades look awful. I don't think it's wrap, maybe a fail trying to match them with the blue contrast stitching. Anything is possible with the exclusive program.
