I'm an AWD fan, personally. I haven't driven an R8 or Merciellago, but I do have two front engine AWD cars and the traction is really impressive. I have to imagine that the mid-engine and AWD makes for some impressive launches from a standing start and would help pull out of corners better.

I think the old problem of excessive understeer has been eliminated by the modern torque distributing systems.
