Lambo Huracan v Audi R8: DRAG RACE

It’s time for an epic Audi vs Lamborghini showdown!

We’ve got Mat in his Audi R8 Spyder V10, and it’s facing off against a Lamborghini Huracan Evo! These cars are almost identical under the skin, but let’s see how they compare anyway.

Starting with the Audi, it’s powered by a 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that can put down 620hp and 580Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,695kg. As new, this car would set you back around £167,000.

Then we have the Lambo. It’s powered by the same 5.2-litre V10 engine, but the power output has increased slightly, climbing to 640hp and 600Nm. It comes equipped with the same 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and the claimed dry weight is 1,422kg (so you can add around an extra 100kg for the proper weight). It’s a bit pricier than the Lambo, costing around £198,000.

So will the more powerful Lambo snatch it? Or will the Audi’s launch propel it to victory? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Thanks to Cardusio for bringing their Huracan Evo:

It's one thing when Mat loses - it's apparently another when he loses badly in his own car. Just imagine if Yianni had been driving the Lambo and trash-talking Mat 😬

Matt. Sell your R8 now. On CARWOW!!!! 😂

Matt drag racing any other car:
"Car is slow."

Matt racing his own car:
"Alright, so we're going to need to repave the entire runway..."

[jawaunb]

Immediately after the 1/4 mile race results, "Want to sell your car?" 😂

[cristiancristi]

The R8 was in "James May" setting as written on the gage cluster when it was zoomed in
It was in "Capitain Slow" mode, that's why 😊

[Jodoi]

Sell your R8 for free with Carwow, Mat.

Matt, if your tyre pressures are up high that can upset the launch calculations. Try launching it with 4psi less all round...
Also make sure that the front and rear tyres (whatever psi you run) have the same difference percentage between front and back as the recommendation. Those millimeters front to back can make the difference between it's calculations of projected or actual wheelspin, and therefore think there's moore spin on one axle than there is.

If only Matt knew a great place to sell his R8.

it's how Nick continues driving with absolutely no remorse for Mat's failing launches😂😂😂

"matt wakes up next to his wife"
So what exactly happened last night? I did the full job in 9.8 seconds

When you don’t feel like filming but you’re forced to 😂

[garethm]

Can you imagine how ruthless Yiannie would have been had he been in the Lambo! Mat probably would have resigned in humility😂😂

Mat was in a mood that day, man. Almost like he couldn't be arsed. Maybe because it was his car he was racing

[BlackChristianCowboy]

The transition @11:23 of selling cars is perfect after he is pissed at the R8, great editing - I love R8’s and ill take it haha

[robertprowell]

Safe to say that car will be on Carwow before the end of day lol

[andrewwachira]

The pissed mood really came through for matt on the brake test when he let it all out by stamping hard on the brakes. The sheer emotion on the braking😮

[adampv]

Someone got out of bed the wrong side that morning. It was low mood from the start of the video, though this felt a bit rinse and repeat. How many times have we seen an Aventador race Matt’s R8?

[g-roy]

Mat was so frustrated it's not even a Joke😂🤣😂🤣
