I think 0-60 won't tell the whole story. The R8 should be able to do a better 0-60 than the M cars due to the AWD. 0-60 is traction limited in rwd cars with over 500 hp.

I think if audi wants to really take it to the competition the V8 R8 needs to be very close to the V10 gallardo. Audi can't be worrying about stepping on the gallardo's toes to make the most of this vehicle. I also think whatever motor goes in the RS6 is the one that should go in the R8.
I am sure the R8 will do wonders with handling, grip, etc. as opposed to 0-60 times, no doubt about it. But as sad as it is, the case is that Audi IS worried about the R8 stepping on the Gallardo.
