current s4/s5 looks boring already and that LED strip is getting old.
I understand completely what you mean by the R8, but the same is true for even modern Ferraris. Porsche continuously get flak for it's boring same all looks of each new 911 but the facts are that it's an icon and it's looks are timeless, the very fact it's been around for forty years is proof that the design still works and until the turndown it's appear was strong than ever.

But I don't agree that the R8 looks old at the moment, it's probably the best looking modern supercar after the F458 and all of the Astons.
