As much as I like BMW, I'd pick that R8 any day. And that's not even the better AWD version. Audis are so gorgeous

I agree but it's interesting to see a sedan keep up with a sports car.

It's like a Lion (M5C) can run as fast as a Cheetah, and we know if there's a brawl the Lion will destroy the Cheetah. Makes the Cheetah look very ordinary then.

Yeah they are. Had to bring my wife's car in for service and was drooling over a R8 Spyder while I waited.

Holy Cow! The big shocker for me was to see a CarWow race on dry pavement. I swear it seems like in almost every race it has just finished raining, is raining, or it starts to rain. The UK is a horrible place for a drag racing channel.

Carwow's schtick is so tiresome. I wish our Forum would stop putting their crap on the front page.

Gross...

I specifically got my R8 because they started offering RWD. Wasn't a matter of cost either. I track the car so RWD > AWD but you do get more power if that's what you meant. You pay for it in weight and understeer. Better roll racer car maybe.

Makes some sweet music too

For me is the opposite. I would not give up an M5 for any Audi.

Year around Sports Sedan, 5 seats and a trunk, puting to shame that R8…. Now that’s an achievement!

M8 vs R8 makes more sense than M5 vs R8

My neighbor just got an R8 Spyder…..white with red interior. Absolutely gorgeous. And as we all know, not too many cars sound better than that V10.

the gearing needs to be taller to enjoy the V10 sound more.

but yes i'd take a V10 regardless

My M8 would shi* on the R8.
