It's time for an impressive Audi showdown!
We've got Mat in the Audi R8 GT, and he will go head-to-head versus an Audi RS6 GT! The question is, which of these severe Audis will come out on top?
Well, let's have a look at the stats. Starting with the RS6, it's powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that delivers 630hp and 850Nm of torque. This power is sent out to all four wheels by means of an 8-speed automated transmission, and the automobile weighs in at 2,075 kg. As new, the RS6 GT had a price tag of ₤ 177,000.
Then we concern the R8. It's packing a 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that can produce 620hp and 565Nm. This power is sent out to the rear wheels only through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it ideas the scales at 1,570 kg. It's a bit more costly than the RS6, costing around ₤ 200,000.
So they both produce comparable power, however while the RS6 might have 4×4, it's half a tonne heavier than the R8! Will this prove definitive? There's just one method to learn … LET'S RACE!
