    R8 GT Future Owners Here?

    It's really tempting. This would be quite a machine and there really wouldn't be much of a resale hit with only 100 coming stateside. Niello is offering their one allocation to me for $20k over. It has to be msrp for it be worth it. Wanted to know what members are ordering it for?

    I ordered mine and got it at MSRP. The build started last week...

    My understanding is that all UK dealers are not allowed to sell new cars at a premium, this can only be done once the car becomes 2nd hand, I have also been told that Audi UK will take a dim view of dealers who register a GT then put it in the showroom at a premium.

    They go at MSRP all day. Foolish to buy over. In fact, you'll be able to pick up a used one in no time at a discount.

    I don't think the car is worth it. It's cool, but it's not worth $225K. Buy a V10 and a GTR and call it a day.

    You say that, but price up a V10 and then add the cost of all the GT bits from OEM and I'm sure the GT list price will be exceeded by some margin, the fact that there are such restricted numbers of the GT will in my opinion hold it's value quite well when compared with standard cars.
