Audi R8 Generations DRAG RACE

Sell your and truck for free with :

We've got our hands on every generation of , and they're about to go head-to-head over the quarter-mile to see how this stupendous supercar has actually evolved throughout the years!

We're beginning with the Mk1 V8 from 2007. It's powered by a 4.2-litre naturally-aspirated V8 that can produce 414hp and 430Nm. This power is sent to all 4 wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox, and when brand-new the starting rate was simply over ₤ 78,000.

Moving on to the latest automobile, we have the R8 GT Mk2. It arrives packing a 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10, and this can put down 620hp and 565Nm. This power is sent out to the rear wheels just by means of a 7-speed automatic transmission, and as new the car costs a shocking ₤ 200,000!

In between the two, we have actually got all other generations of R8 – the GT Spyder Mk1, the LMX Mk1, the R8 RWS Mk2, and the R8 Spyder Efficiency Mk2!

The question is, will the newest vehicle, the GT Mk2, nab the win? Or will the lack of four-wheel drive show decisive? There's just one way to learn for sure … LET'S RACE!

    The first R8 looks the best and the most special

      Disagree. They looked better as they got facelifted over the years. And as far as it being special, if that was the case then it wouldn’t be the cheapest one. The original R8 literally has the same horsepower as the BMW M3 did during those same years, except Audi charged way more for the R8. It wasn’t anything revolutionary. Just a small displacement V8 sports car sold and marketed as a “super car” when it really wasn’t.

    Yianni has an S-tronic, not an R-tronic. It’s also a dual clutch, but in the first gen. It came with the 2012 facelift I believe.

      Yes, that’s what I was thinking too. They got it wrong cause I own a 2014 v8 Spyder and it’s a S-tronic DCT.

      @innerhammer

      Yinanni loves Huracan but R8’s of the same year should have the same techs because all the techs basically came from Audi no matter what Lamborghini says.
      So If Huracan 2015 has a DCT, R8 2015 should have one as well.
