They are not the same car.
Yes, they run on the same platform, but they are not the same, they have distinct differences.
Its not a Volkswagen, just because VAG owns Volkswagen, Audi and Lamborghini does not make them a Volkswagen. The engines are made at Lamborghini, and not at Audi or VW. (even if the logo on the engine for the R8 says Audi, its still a Lamborghini engine, as is the one in the S8 V10 btw...)
The R8 in the picture looks like a V8, make sure its a V10 before you buy one.
Even the R8 V10 is less powerful than the Gallardo, reason being very simple: If VAG made the Audi R8 V10 perform as well or outperform the Gallardo, people would stop buying the Gallardo. So the Gallardo will likely always outperform the R8 by a tiny little bit.
Just because the R8 has an Audi Logo does not make it less nice than the Gallardo in my opinion though. They are both very fun to drive, the Audi will be a little easier to handle since it simply is made that way.
If you can drive shift, and have a clue how to handle such a car, I would get the Gallardo as long as you like the general look. Otherwise, get the Audi R8 V10.
If you just want a nice fast car, I would get an Audi S8 V10 though...
