    You mean R8 5.2 FSI? Why? Just look at few official numbers from 997.2 GT3

    0-100km/h: 4.1s
    0-200km/h:12.3s
    Max: 312km/h

    V8 because of pricing. The GT3 is basically a high po variant of the 911 with similar power figures as the V8 R8- minus the AWD.

    R8 only .3 slower to 60 mph per AOA spec for the R8 V8.
    Past- A4, TT, S4

    Present- R8 V10

    It's about 2 or 3 levels of extremeness above what the R8 is and I would also say it would be easily quicker on every track you care to mention, but comparing these two cars isn't really the point, they aren't even competitors.

    On the open road and as a daily driver the R8 is untouchable among supercars but when put up against a true track star as the 997.2 GT3 is then I can't see the ordinary R8 putting up much of a fight.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    As far as I see GT3.2 is an extremely track car and very-very fast...
    So next GT2.2 will be a real blow-off for everybody then?
