Of those two r8 in a heartbeat. Ive put 18k miles on the R8 and think its one of the most comfortable exotic looking cars out there...but then again, I have a Turbo S to step into as well.

I drove the R8 today. I quite liked it to be honest. Unfortunately the Indian dealership isn't going to get the 991 for yes drives for about 2 more months, I so can't drive it. But if the Panamera and Cayenne interiors are anything to go by, the R8 is nowhere close to Porsche in terms of interior quality, really not that impressed with the R8 interior.

Its tipping towards the 991 for me, unless someone can tell me something incredible about the R8.

I say the Porsche for sure, especially if it's more exclusive where you live, which seems odd.
