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.

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!

The New R8 should murk that lol. In the ultimate drag race, it’s typically in the top 2, if that matters.

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

Really?? What does a tuned M550i do vs a stock M5 in lets say the quarter?

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

That M5 is fast. Ramon Performance has the info on their page.

0-62mph in 2.4 sec
1/4 mile 9.9 sec (for reference a Lambo Performante runs a 10.6)

I believe he posted a 0-60 in 1.95 sec from the Racelogic.
