[s-cars] V8 rear diff swapped to replace the front diff in a 6 speed trans?

[Taka Mizutani]

That's because the R8 is basically a Gallardo with a different engine.

The transmission is the same e-gear setup that the Lambo has as well, it's
not DSG.

Personally, I'd rather get a mint, low miles Gallardo for the price that
Audi dealers ask for the R8.
