Audi R8 v RS e-tron GT: DRAG RACE

  • It’s time to find out which Audi is the quickest over the quarter-mile - the Audi R8 V10 Performance, or the RS e-tron GT?
    Now on paper, the RS e-tron GT should easily snatch the win. Its two electric motors provide four-wheel drive and combine to produce 646hp and 830Nm of torque. As a result, it’s the most powerful Audi you can buy in 2022!
    In comparison, the R8 comes with a 5.2-litre naturally aspirated V10 that’s good for 620hp and 580Nm of torque. So it’s no slouch, but ultimately it provides less power than the e-tron GT! However, there’s one key difference between these two cars. Whereas the R8 weighs in at 1,595kg, the RS e-tron GT is a whole lot heavier, tipping the scales at 2,345kg!
    So will the weight difference prove costly? Or will the instant release of electric power push the e-tron to victory? There’s only one way to find out - LET’S RACE!

    Id like to see several brake tests in a row. 1) measure shortest 2) estimate fade 3) get a feel for repeatability. Let's face it, the 1 foot you won by could easily be a difference in when each driver started braking. Actually should probably be a tie in less than a couple of feet. Either that or at least confirm with accelerometer.

Look at Germany and Italy blocking thag law for the EU outlawing gas cars 10 years from now. Ferrari, Lambo and Porsche said hell no. Even Pagani have given up on EV research cause batteries just don't work when it comes to weight (their words) and Porsche pledging to keep the 911 gas for as long as possible

    The launch of that battery car was in Scotland during winter, it completely exposed the real range limitations and inability to charge it anywhere outside of a city.

    Put these two in a circuit and the e-tron GT won't cope with the braking and turning of each lap

    Putting a soft limiter on that v10 should be a crime against humanity

    That e-Tron's sound check sounded like a Lexus LFA, AMAZING!

    Is that Matt’s “blammo” sound. Cool.

    Sorry Matt, but those Jean shorts are so ‘Blue Oyster Bar’ circa 1984. You guys need some colder weather again. 😉

    The brakes on the Etron GT are really good to be that close to the R8.

    The R8 may lose every drag race, but it's ridiculously beautiful...

  • @titaniummechanism3214

    Why not both? An E-Tron for daily commute and a manual R8 V10 Spyder for the weekend b-road runs. One can dream...
