Why should I also consider these?
Looks are deceptive.
Although the R8 has an appearance that blends in some exotic appeal, it isn't so much a competitor to the likes of the Ferrari 458 Italia and Lamborghini Gallardo.
Those cars take aim directly at a niche of affluent enthusiasts and collectors who have the patience for tight cabins, less appealing materials and long waiting lists.
The Maserati Gran Turismo has a larger cabin and a backseat that's large enough for small adults, along with a distinctly Italian style, though it's heavier than the especially nimble R8 and not particularly known for easy, trouble-free service.
The Aston Vantage is heavier, more exclusive, and more luxurious, and it's a great grand-touring vehicle.
The Porsche 911 remains arguably the most practical choice in the group, with its more spacious front and rear cargo areas, and an enviable record for safety--provided you don't think 911s are a dime a dozen.
