nice video! the turbo crushed the r8 in both tests huh

 

Owned!

R8 is still a nice car though. Another question, who came out first Fifth gear or Top Gear and are they made by the same people? I always get confused since both shows seem to follow the same format. Maybe the editor is the same?

 

Does anyone really expect the R8 to win here? And just wait for the Turbo S...

Great video, though.

 

top gear first, i believe. tiff needell was the main host on the show for years, until he left and clarkson took over. tiff then became the host of 5th gear.

and on the car, i think the r8 is being typical audi these days (well, my 2 cents). they look good, very good in a lot of cases. but when it comes to pure performance, it's still behind the hard core. but there are so much other than just performance

 

MT did a comparison between the R8, Porsche turbo, and MB SLS

3. SLS
2. Porsche turbo
1. R8

with video... sweet...

Turbo all the way.

 

Wholly smokes...

When did the 911 Turbo Get down to 2.8 seconds to 60mph?

According to Motor Trend that is the new number for the coupe.

Crazy these road cars are getting so close to the limits of physics and tire grip.

 

And Porsche's prototype "hybrid" adds 160 HP electric power to the front wheels....
Be nice to have that pulling you out of a tight turn
