Thank God I'm poor and I don't have to choose

I love the lap comparisons corner by corner. Nice editing.

I hope you will redo this with the Turbo S MK2 with 580hp and updated everything, it is a Significant step up, don't be like Motor Trend who was still Testing the BMW 335i when the 340i is Already out !

That R8. That engine, that interior. What a great car.

[Avrelivs_Gold]

VW is the supercar god today.
Bugatti, Porsche, Lamborghini, Audi...
All sub 3 seconds.

R8 please... I love the 911 but the r8 is just beautiful

[EdwardV]

Let's not forget that this was the latest R8 and Porsche just announced a new model Turbo.

I never cared much for the R8 but this new V10 Plus is really drawing me in.

[DoctaM]

Still have trouble liking the design of the new R8. Interior is great though. Awesome video.

I'm going to be that guy and say it:

Has anybody noticed that no matter what the situation, the 911 always seems to have a "given" condition? If it manages to lose the time attack like this case, it's given a win due to its "personality". Which I think is funny given that it's the benchmark standard boring porsche. (But granted, I do like the thing. I'm not a butt hurt Audi fan here guys. I do enjoy porsche.) But the 911 is always kept protected and sacred by car reviewers. If it loses somewhere, it's given a win due to it being the 911. The Audi I think has more personality than Mr serious the turbo beetle with its v10 screamer and it's aggressive styling. So I'm calling bullshit now. And it isn't exclusive to evo either. Many other companies do this as well with other shootouts with the 911.

Now I'll wait for the stupid replies about being an angry Audi fanatic. I know they're coming in spite of me stating I'm a porsche fan.

Honestly I'm a real Porsche fan, but I'm really impressed with the R8! Damn, that engine is something extra and it's now even more good looking than it was before. Well done Audi! Although I'd like to see the MK2 Turbo S later on.

[coffeeblak]

when he drove the R8 i could actually feel him driving the R8 because of how good he explained the driving experience. Great review.

I totally agree, those cars are AWD but can slide like a RWD in some wet condition. Especially for Porsche. Where is the rear wheel steering?? Or maybe the AWD split torque much slower or the ESC applied mildly.
The suspension setting of Audi R8 and Turbo S are similar, front suspension caster is about +7.0-7.3 degrees. The Turbo S may have more caster, so the front end should be as sticky maybe it's the torque that gives 991 a bigger slide. The R8 seems slide with much less counter steer, more like 4 wheel drifting. The reason maybe weight distribution and AWD torque split. Talks about weight distribution, the Turbo S with a weight distribution of 39.3%/60.7% vs R8 42%/58%. The Porsche Turbo S also packed with a way softer damper, although PDCC aids mid corner body roll but not pitch, the car pitch a lot as I can see. For the transmission, Audi did a great job if it able to shifts quicker than PDK like he mentioned. Anyway, I'll pick Audi R8.

so hard to watch this Hahah, Chris Harris or BUST

[peacegod]

The R8 is the better car. It both looks and sounds better and has a better interior.

[dumyjobby]

i would take the porsche. thae understated looks, practicality and crazy performance is too sexy for me. it's junt an everyday ultra performance gt monster

[simisai]

my vote goes to the 911 plainly bcos I hate the new R8 looks

[polmoney]

The front license plates on Audi ruin the whole optics. Clamp behind de window please!

The 911 Turbo S is insane, see how many super cars have come down to its feet, even a brand new v10+ cant match the 2 year old 911 turbo S, the new 911 turbo S, I think will be doing lap times that cars that will come out by 2018-2020 will match, what a brand is Porsche...
