A bargain at this price

I was contemplating the R8 versus the i10 and given the traffic conditions in India, the R8 wins hands down. What won me over was its stunning 0-100 kmph acceleration in 3.5 seconds and its top speed of over 300 kmph. I can imagine myself blazing the roads of Chandni Chowk and Flora Fountain in rush hour traffic, leaving the unfortunate ones by my wayside. The price of petrol is a cause for great concern and I would need to dig deep into my pockets to come up with money for petrol once I have this car...
