KresoF1, some figures pls!!!!!
I know that you know it!
Numbers from Rennteam. Not mine, but I assume these are from the test.
7.44/1.10,9/17,8/1.35/133/145/1.33,4/4,1/13,0/316/19,2/31,8
7.44 is Ring I imagine, 1.10,9 is Hockenheim I think.
So is it safe to assume that it would be even faster if they put Corsas on it?
As fast as the Pagani Zonda S !!!
And faster than the Lamborgini Gallardo Superleggera! Wow!
Qisha, please explain how this GT cruiser became so fast

great ring numbers and that on normal tyres i guess.
But 0-200kmh 13 sec, not faster than gtr (numbers from above)
i thought Audi quoted a 12 sec up to 200 kmh.
thats disapointing again.
Lamborgini 560 runned a 11,6 in 30 degres (very hot day)
and yes he was on sport tyres Pirelli P Zero Corsa R01
so infact 6 sec slower than the gtr on hockenheim ring.....
We will see how the new 911 turbo performence

sorry 6 sec slower than gtr on Nordschleife (44, 38)
and 0.1 sec faster than gtr on Hockenheim.
You mean 6s slower then GT-R on Nordschleife I guess. That is correct. BUT, Dunlops on GT-R are specially developed DRY road tires for GT-R ONLY.
Let me remind you that 997.1 Turbo(manual, LSD, PCCB and Michelin CUP N0 tires) Nordschleife time is 7.52min so, you expect at least 10s better time?
Hmm... IMHO 997.2 Turbo with PDK, PVT, SC Turbo and CUP N2(new version of Michelin CUPs) will be either on same level as R8 V10 or just marginally faster...
agree with you on the turbo..
For my disapointing are the 13 sec up to 200 kmh.
Porsches pdk will do it in 11,5 sec...
And again audi quoted 1 sec better official time (12 sec).
It is a bit the same as on the r8v8 time, witch never reached the audi official time of 14,9 sec in none of the test i saw.
Just wonder why the lp560 with the same engine (lighter car) low km, on a really hot day could do 11,6 secs up to 200kmh.
where is the time missing on audi.
great discusion.
"Just wonder why the lp560 with the same engine (lighter car) low km, on a really hot day could do 11,6 secs up to 200kmh."
250 lbs less. helps alot. also, the R8 is down on hp by over 40.
can anyone tell me what tranny the test car had?
my two cents- the upcoming GT3 version of the V10 will be insane. and i will say it again- if the R8 had a DSG it would destroy the competition. i can only imagne what audi has in store for next gen.
Past- A4, TT, S4
Present- R8 V10
R Tronic.
The Audi uses the Pirelli PZero R01 or the Corsa System , which has nothing to do with the Corsa, the system has a regular Profil, so you can use the tire also in the rain, the corsa is the sami slick and this one doesn't excites in R01.
Just change the butterfly valve setting get the +35 HP and a much better NM and as the car doesn't closes the air supply at +6200 and see what will happen, but not bad for the regular version.....

Hi Mike
the r8v10 performed pretty bad on the Nasshandling test, 1:33, the r8v8 with normal tyres had 1:29.
They write it is because the tyres were optimeced for try performance.
So your statement cant be that wright about the tyres on ther8v10 as they are definitly optimeced for try handling.
(Thats what sport auto write)
acceleration wise i dont understand why he only did 13 sec up to 200kmh with r-tronic
on ohter r8v10 did it in sportauto with manuel on 12,9.
Some how the r8 have problems to reacht audis official times.
An other thing top speed on nordschleife was 275, thats about the same as gt3 and gtr, but less then the older 911 turbo.
overall the r8v10 gets les points from the test than the old 911 turbo, and gtr
And that is for my the disapointing facts, becaus the r8 looks so good, i wish he would performe as well that good.
Remember people said r8 v10 would destroy an m6 in strighline but it looks like this is just not the case.
one question how new was the tested car, was he broken in..
With r-tronic transmission 0-200 12 sec its easy in sportauto with manuel gear box is 12,9? the official time is 12 sec and i belive! Also varies from pilot to pilot but normal people achieved
