    BTW, after 200km/h power is what matters, NOT turque or even aerodynamics.

    Little example-try to overtake new Cayenne Turbo S with your R8 V8 at 250km/h... I did... And I could not. Cayenne Turbo S driver pressed the throttle and belive it or not truck was two car lenghts in front of me.
    Power in relation to weight - that means. Or not?

    whoa nellie. whoa there!

    in no way will an awd car that weighs at least 300 lbs more than a V8 R8 and makes less than 10% more power and torque out accelerate the R8. DSG or not.

    it will be faster than the TT RS.
    Past- A4, TT, S4

    Present- R8 V10

    In straight line on 400m yes.

    On autobahn after 200km/h definitely NOT. Here power is only thing that really matters. Gearbox ratios are important as well.

    "Race" was between 250km/h till 280km/h and Cayenne Turbo S was at first about 2 car lenghts faster. At 280km/h(and more) I was getting closer to him and eventually at 295km/h I overtake him. Just, I needed about 5km or more of autobahn to do so. Also, R8 V8 is not very fast after 260km/h, you need a lot of time to reach 300km/h and more...

    Hmm... I think that you will have to except the fact that RS5 will be faster in 0-200km/h then R8 V8. Yes, that fact is IMO hard to except.

    BTW, fastest R8 V8(manual) measured by German magazines reached 200km/h in 15.1s(tested by AB Sports Car Edition). Various other examples were between 15.8s-17.2s

    Fastest R8 V10 was measured at 12.3s. At least it meant Audi factory claim which for R8 V8 is unfortunately not true.

    Since M3 MDCT is as fast in straight line as R8 V8 we can assume that RS5 will be faster then both.

    BUT, against 997.2 Turbo PDK even R8 V10 do not have any chance at all in straight line at any speed.

    BTW, forthcoming Sport Auto test will also show that 997.2 Turbo PDK is faster on both Hockenheim and Nordschleife then R8 V10(be it manual or R Tronic).
    what a big improvement by Porsche for 997 Turbo !


    incredible the launch at the end of this video...what a traction and what a beast!

    yes r8v10 is slow compaired to the 997 turbo mk2 with pdk.

    Audi missed a big thing with not putting the pdk into the r8...

    Maybe the tie-up between the brands will be more fruitful in the future.

    P.S.

    I'm curious how the 997 turbo Mk2 compares to the more powerful LP560/4. Maybe all the R8 needed was the full beans.
    Search and you will find the truth.

    i'll believe this when i see it. post some same day mag accel times for the M3 and R8 to prove it.

    if it is faster i am certain the updated engine will go into the R8 in order to keep it faster.
    Past- A4, TT, S4

    Present- R8 V10

    I'm sick of spyshots that dont reveal anything new. This is as boring as watching the new 5 series losing camouflage in spypics.

    yea, getting a little tired of the spy pics as well (though those drilled rear brakes look awesome)
