I agree with Hot|Ice, the R8 is absolutely a supercar. A supercar is defined by what then for those who don't think it is?
The R8 has an Exotic mid-engine chassis,an exotic high revving V8 engine, and a dry sump oil lubrication system. That sure sounds like a supercar to me. If your only reason against it being a supercar is it's power, then what about the 360 Modena among others?
The engine in the R8 is deserving of sitting in a supercar, just like the S65 V8 in the M3 is. The difference between being a sporty GT and a supercar lines in the package as a whole.
