    Again I am looking for a preowned low mileage R8...what is the average life expectancy of the clutch on a manual V8 driven fast and with verve ? Do you know the replacement cost of the clutch ?
    Thx

    Read this thread for a more complete discussion on clutch life:
    What's the most mileage from an R8 clutch so far??

    We inspected mine at 20,000 miles and it looked brand new. No hard launches, but included a couple of dozen or so track days.

    That's awesome that it doesn't have "supercar" wear and tear on the clutch life.
