Either that M5 is a factory beast that’s about to go pop, or the R8 driver needs a coffee. According to the comments it’s a tuned R8. The race should’ve been way closer with a slight advantage going to the Audi. Impressive nonetheless.

Read the title: It’s a modded 780hp M5

I did read the title. Granted I don’t know what the recently featured modded M5 here on the forum is putting down, but it was only .2 seconds faster than a STOCK R8 V10 Plus from 0-200kmh. Keep in mind it says the Audi is also tuned/modified, so not really seeing your point.
Edit Just read another publication 0-124mph in 9 seconds flat, basically stock is on par with that one. I don’t see how there’s such a large delta here. |

Not sure how much I buy into this hahah. The R8 is quick - this one launched wayyy behind and wasn't as aggressive as it should've been. Nonetheless, cool to see that M5 monster down the straight!

And then you get to a corner, and the M5 capsizes.
I kid, I kid....but I would still take the R8 10 times out of 10. Even if that meant going back and forth to shuttle the three other people I could have carried in the M5...

So....terrible launch by the R8.
As someone said above though, still sweet to see that F90 cooking!

M5 is a great car, but the R8 just sounds better, and arguably looks better. Anyhow, a tuned M5 is definitely faster than an R8, like a tuned M550i is undoubtedly faster than an M5

I would guess not even close but Ill let vtknight step in since he just got rid of a tuned M550i and now has a stock CE M5 which traps 129 but even non CE F90's are trapping 126.XX

All this talk about launch good or bad
Race is a race, you can't launch the car you don't deserve to race. Audi didn't even close the gap but it gotten wider M5-710 hp and R8 - 780hp for those who didn't understand Russian commentator
