It's currently a Litchfield stage 4. Dyno at Litchfield 640bhp 584 torque. That was no launch either.
I haven't launched it yet.
AMG out, GT-R in!

My main worry would be affording to run one after seeing some the huge bills these cars can kick upshe's gorgeous. i think the GT-R is my dream car at the mo, not that i ever have a hope of affording one

Yes very wise to consider that and the services don’t come cheap! Just had my 36 month fluids service - £800
Tyres will cost you around £300 each and around the same for a decent set of brake pads. You dont even want to know about brake discs!
But if you can manage the costs, they’re incredible cars
Pennies.
How much is it to replace all 4 discs and pads I asked?
"Ermmm, I'd just sell it" was the advice.
I'd say £800 for a 3 year service isn't bad at all. Sure, it's not the same price as a Ford Fiesta, but neither is the performance level.
I was expecting your andi R8 brake pads & discs to cost roughly the same but after looking around you can get R8 pads & discs for about half the price compared to the GT-R R35How much is it to replace all 4 discs and pads I asked?

Not ceramics like Housey has.
On my 911 the ceramic disc were nearly 5-6k for a pair, was not pleasant times when I needed a new front set of ceramics on that car.
No not ceramic ones ... just some normal very cheap ones..
How much is a set of stock front discs & pads from audi for your R8 ?
Wanted cheap ceramics
£3,300 a corner for discs, £300 roughly for pads per corner.
That's ridiculous, never understood why consumable parts such as brakes are so expensive on these type of cars, surely they mass produce these parts?
LOL. and I thought I was being shafted paying over £100 for pads on my Audi diesel.
You could buy a new Ford for that priceWOW....
Think I stick to my ford..

Look it will come with fast car tax, but ceramic brakes are a much more expensive manufacturing process to steel brakes and are not made at scale.
Sorry, 6 grand a corner...
