I doubt so..I think it'll be around 500k..from S$500,000 to S$550,000 maybe, depending on specs and manual/auto..and the waiting list is now stretching on forever..even if you order it now, it'll probably take more than a year close to 2 years to reach SG shores..Originally posted by iaintmad:maybe arnd 300k

i heard the test car would be coming into singapore in november for test drives. By invitation only though
-
cool... Heard that the v10 in RS6 will be an option soon

First reason why I think it'll cost half a million..all the high performance saloons from Germany (eg. M5, M6, CLS55 AMG, and E63 AMG) costs close to half a million in SG..so I don't see why an R8, a mid-engined car somemore, will cost less than these other high performance German saloons..Originally posted by iaintmad:what makes u so sure?
Second reason: In the UK, the R8 costs about £76,825..the conversion rate from GBP to SGD now is about S$1 for £3..so multiply £76,825 by about 3 to convert it to S$ and you get about S$230,475..then you multiply S$230,475 by either the 110% or 120% tax..I'm not too sure which one is it..but lets say multiply S$230,475 by 110%, you will get about S$483,997..then add in your insurance, road tax and COE, that will be about S$500,000 isn't it?
There you go..here are my major reasons why I think the Audi R8 will cost half a million sing dollars here..

Tax so high can kill two birds with one stone ma..Originally posted by muwrx:i think the import tax is just way too exp! wondering why gov has to tax so much!

When Sporeans see cars so expensive, then they dun want buy..then govt can better control the number of vehicles on our roads..
But when Sporeans really go buy car, they earn lotsa money.. -
$500,000 half a million for the R8? Do you even own a Porsche?

hmm...audi...
I would like it, but for some reason Audi cars has no value as compared to a BMW or Merc in sg... -
Magazines and Audi themselves has already place a rough price tag on that baby.
-
who wanna go test drive this car? lol..its gonna be so funny to see it being test driven..
-
yea..u sure did read it from the mags yea...Originally posted by alleggerita:I doubt so..I think it'll be around 500k..from S$500,000 to S$550,000 maybe, depending on specs and manual/auto..and the waiting list is now stretching on forever..even if you order it now, it'll probably take more than a year close to 2 years to reach SG shores.. -
Well well well..this was last time..now look at Audi's recent new models like the RS4, A5, and this new R8..all have received good comments..Audi is on the rise and no one's stopping them..the new A4 has been tested by Autocar in the UK already, and they have also given good praise for the new A4..so resale value for this new R8 will be high, no worries..Originally posted by airgrinder:hmm...audi...
I would like it, but for some reason Audi cars has no value as compared to a BMW or Merc in sg...
AND another reason why this R8 will have good resale value is due to the high demand..like I've said..waiting list is now stretching into "years" figures, not "months"..so if you collect your R8 now and immediately sell it off, you sure earn a profit..
And just to tell you..Autocar recently held an event called Britian's Best Driver's Cars 2007..10 cars were chosen for the event..they are the new Ford Mondeo 2.5T, new Mercedes-Benz C350 7G-Tronic, Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG Black Series, Renault Megane R26, Lamborghini Murcielago LP640, Porsche Cayman S, Porsche (997) 911 GT3 RS, new BMW M3, new Lotus 2-Eleven, and finally the Audi R8..
Many people would have expected the Porsche Cayman S to win again because the Cayman S was last year's champion..but, SHOCK, the Audi R8 won the competition..so now the Audi R8 is crowned the best driver's car in Britian.. -
Guys.
I thought Singapore will get only 8 units of R8? And Premium Autos had sold all of them already. Yup it's half a million indeed. -
Yup.. that's what I read too... only 8 units coming to SG.. and all reserved already...Originally posted by sunboy77:Guys.
