Audi R8 generations 2006-2019: DRAG RACE

It’s time for an Audi R8 head-to-head! It might not be too hard to choose the winner from this line-up, but how do you think the older models will compare against each other? Does the original V8 Manual have what it takes to cause an upset? There’s only one way to find out… Let’s race!

Awkward haggling is a thing of the past with carwow. Choose your perfect car with our configurator tool and let the country’s best dealers compete over you. Compare the five best offers by price, location and dealer ratings and choose the one that’s right for you – no hassle, no haggling, just a great deal.

Impressed by the LMX. I think an older R8 with a V10 and manual gearbox would be a nice used supercar to drive.

The R8 LMX is peak r8... It has the beauty of the first generation with the refinement of the S tronic and Ferrari 458 matching horsepower and speed in the quarter mile.

[dirtydan]

Still think the first gen r8 is the most beautiful

[THe-MAnIaC]

That was very good! Personally I really like the first generation R8

[samdurling]

So that end of gen 1 r8 is almost as quick to the quarter mile as the aventador sv?! That's nuts

[Nagim-dz]

The R8 V10 Performance looks the best and is the fastest 😍

[alexsenin]

I just love all of the r8s. But that new v10 performance is just fire!!!

[Jackson-son]

Extremely distinguished channel .. thanks Mat 🌹👍👍👍

Mat please do a collab with Doug DeMuro

[M.A.R.V..N]

For me the original R8 is the best of all the R8s out there

[ikontact]

PLEASE DO THIS WITH ALL GEN'S OF VIPERS @carwow

[SubieFrancis]

You should try getting your hands on an r32 vs r33 vs r34 bs r35...or old nsx vs new?

[hiro]

Is it me or the earliest r8 has the best looks along with the second one.

[nyckae]

Seriously think it was a misplaced for audi not to keep the v8 option. Could have been an entry level

[kenmichigwan]

Next do a race on priuses or hybrids econoboxes

[TheFunkyair]
