Interesting question op, my take would be does the face-lift car sound as good as the pre face-lift?
That would be the deciding factor for me and from the clips I've seen on YouTube suspect the older cars sound better.
Anyone driven the new cars yet?
V8 R AWD or P450?
Maybe
I haven't driven one of the older ones, or the Type R of the My21, so I don't have anything to compare it against though, sorry.

I found you had to push the new one (575hp 'R') more to get some good sound out of it. in short, new cars sound good, older cars sound better
Really like the new digital dash configuration, anyone who says "its a proper sports car so should have analogue dials" is living in the past. You can opt to have a central rev counter, 'virtual cockpit' style nav, 2 normal dials etc. loads more configurable and much more info to hand
not massively sold on the new looks, still a good looking car, just prefer the previous styles (actually prefer the first gen front to all others)
Either car will be a great choice so OP you cant really go wrong, both have V8's, I think part of me might sway towards the V8 R AWD, not sure how the new shaped 450 will do in the long run, I think people on second hand market would probably hold out for the 575 R which could damage the 450 cars resale value (more than normal)

The P450 is available with RWD and with the new revised suspension could be the nicest one to drive. The new car will come with 3 years warranty whereas the V8 R will only have the remaining years and you won’t have certainty as to how it’s been looked after.
Both great cars

But you will have saved a shedload of depreciation!

Haha! True that
I didn’t worry about depreciation as I got 22% off and don’t plan to sell it!
Is that a TATA Steel employee discount?
