R8 is about bringing hype to the Audi brand. It shows that Audi has an exotic car within their lineup and that some of the technology from the R8 will be filtered down to lower cars.

So R8 is not a waste of resources, its a way to bring more customers to the Audi brand.

Plus Audi can say that BMW doesn't have a car that can match the R8, Audi halo car.
