Even though I would seriously love to see the R8 fall between the 3200-3300lb range...
However in my opinion, I believe that it will fall into the 3400-3500 range. Reason, I think audi is trying to get all aspects of performance, engineering, comfort and luxury amenities into the car, while still keeping it tagged as a 'supercar'.
I don't know why i am thinking this way, but I hope I AM WRONG and you are right with the R8 coming it at < 3300.

Although some don't like it the C6 has a much better interior
than previous ones. C6 Z06 = 3100lbs'sh and GT3 is approx 3000lbs so I also hope for sub 3200lbs.
Not that I'll be able to afford one but still

I have way more wishes than you ;-)
Dear Dr. Winterkorn,
Please make the R8 drop dead gorgeous, so much fun to drive that I can't wait to get behind the wheel, with the most beautiful interior and a wicked sound system (even though the V8 will be more melodious than any soundtrack). Bring it to North America for just under 100k (say 99,900), and charge us nice Canadians a fair exchange rate- say 120k Can. Phew..that wasn't so difficult to ask for. :-)
ps: DSG and ceramic brakes would be appreciated as well. Merci!

No more than 3,300
If the R8 comes in at around 3,300 pounds, it would have the same power to weight ratio as the M6. I know the two aren't direct competitors, but I don't think that Audi wants its sportscar to be outgunned by a grand tourer. This is of course assuming that the R8 at first comes out with 420-425 hp.

The R8 will put the power down a bit better than the M6 tho, so...
i'd expect better acceleration numbers.
Stylistically, i've got no love for the 6. From a distance its got some great proportions, but up close that thing is so freeking cut up- its retarded. my 2c.
