If it was an RS7 or R8, I'd think $2500 for a brake job sounds right.
I just bought new slotted rotors and pads for my GTR direct from a performance shop website for $1600. Will cost $400 in labor to replace.. but that's a GTR and with very high end performance parts.
As for Audi... and R8's... I have no idea why someone would spend the same $$ for an r8 when you can get a McLaren 570S or Porsche Turbo S. Test drive them both and bought my 570S. Also has a 3 yr/unlimited mile warranty and their extended warranties (up to 12 years) even covers the brakes.
My Tesla will never need brakes even after 200-300K miles
Audi is great car, and so are a lot of Euro cars.. just don't own them past their warranty period! That's why they tank in value.... because that's when they start falling apart.
