Why does the Audi R8 have a high price tag?

The Audi R8 has a stunning design and impressive performance, but with a starting price of over $170,000, many wonder why it is so expensive. Can you give me an explanation for the high price?

The Audi R8 is a luxury sports car that is hand-built and uses top-of-the-line materials, resulting in a higher cost for production. Furthermore, the advanced technology and engineering that goes into the car's performance contribute to its higher price.
