Good considering it's a stick manual.

While these are awesome figures, these are likely to be the worst numbers of the bunch. I can definitely see car magazine and some other german publications posting

0-60 - 3.5
0-120 -11.7
1/2 mile - under 12

[Z07]

1/2 mile - under 12
A tad optimistic.:hihi:

Popular mechanics did it in 11.8 at 119.5.

I'll wait for some car mag tests. Not really sure about these source.

I expected about 123 trap.

These figures are very competitive with it's rivals, the 997tt is no quicker, the GTR is also now no quicker since the software re-jig and doubt even the stock F430 will compete. The only stuff that it still be out ahead are the LP560, the GT2 and the ZR1.

Though none of the above are as accomplish at everything the potential owner will throw at it as the Audi is, the complete package.

Automobile magazine does not use rollout. Most other US magazines do, basically this makes their times 3/10th of a second slower than the other magazines. So think 3.5 0-60, I expect Car and Driver to achieve such times. (they got 3.2 for Gallardo LP-560)

With a dual clutch system I expect the R8 V10 would close that gap though. Gear for gear, it's on par.

[artur777]

R8 V10 will be with a single clutch system...
like SMG

Nice numbers, but I expect them to be climbing down to 11's to the 200 km/h mark.

But it's a nice start! :R8:

I know that, I meant that I'm not to confident in their reviews. In fact, I've never read reviews from them. I'll wait for Evo, CD, MT, RT etc.

faster than the lp 560.......

Yes, and I can't see why the R8 V10 couldn't do a let's say 11,8 sec run to 200 km/h.

This was the first numbers and it did 12.1, so it ain't far away.

it isnt alsow far away from 12.4, can go in both way if we speculate.

And for sure the "must have" difference to the lambo will always be there..

Soon we will have a sport auto test..

Absolutely! But I'm hoping for it and I think it's possible.

Only time will tell.

0-120mph in 12,1s means 0-200km/h in about 12,7s. Very similar results in both tests.

The LP560 did 0-120mph under 10s and should comfortably post 0-200km/h time of under 11,0s.

Yes, but that would be under what Audi states, which we know isn't going to happen.

Read Audi's press release.


The Audi R8 5.2 FSI quattro provides superior performance. It rockets from zero to 100 km/h (62.14 mph) in 3.9 seconds. In the version with the sequentially shifting R tronic it passes the 200 km/h (124.27 mph) mark in another 8.1 seconds. And its powerful propulsion continues well beyond that, to a top speed of 316 km/h (196.35 mph).

0-200 km/h is 12s flat. That would imply 0-120mph in under 12, perhaps 11.5.

The LP time is wrong. Try about 11.5s 0-200 km/h

The LP560/4 has a power to weight ratio of 2.5kgs per hp where as the R8v10 is 2.88kgs per hp (approx). That's an increase of over 10% so if the LP560 is doing the 125mph in low 11s I thinks it's acceptable to expect the R8 scrapping into the high 11s but not by much.

what's the power to weight of the GTR? higher than the LP560's isn't it? and destroys it on the ring.

Yeah both the GTR isn't basically a lengthen LP560 with slightly less power and a bit more weight. The GTR is using the most advanced AWD known to man and an engine that no one but Nissan knows the true output it's giving.

Power to weight is the most important thing in acceleration when all other things are equal, that is why I say that based in my figures the R8 is down approximately 10% on PTW so it can't accelerate as quick.

On the track is a different matter, especially on a track like the ring because then suspension setting and wheelbase play a much bigger role. I look forward to seeing how it performs on both the ring and Hockenheim to see if Kerso's early estimates are accurate.
