Wow. I was expecting the Clio to be fast, but not that close. That's impressive.

So, a Lamborghini based V10 Audi supercar is as fast as a small hatchback Renault with an improved suspension and slick tires? Good to know.

Very interesting match up. I knew it would come down to the length of the straights. If the Audi was allowed to stretch its legs then it would win, if the course had shorter straights then the Clio would take it with its sticky tires and race car handling. Luckily this track has a great balance of straights and twisties to make this a very close battle! I'd love to see more comparisons like this. Great job, Evo!

Downforce is just a mutliplier on the tyre grip. [ Traction force ] = ( weight + downforce ) * tyre friction coefficient, where friction coefficient is a function of tyre temperature and slip angle

So a Renault that cost 50.000€ is almost as fast as a Audi that Cost 170.000€ ... not bad (and even if they are slick tire they cost lest thant the R8 road tyre lol )

Wow...that was much closer of a time than I would have thought! It's amazing how horsepower doesn't do a whole lot when the track is relatively short and there's lots of tight turns, at that point it's all about suspension, tires, and weight. This really shows what stripping an extra thousand pounds out of a car will do for it's performance as well. Nice Video!

Well, apart from slicks, the biggest reason Clio was so close is because R8 is too damn heavy, especially for a car made of aluminum and CF. Though Clio is a bit heavy for a stripped-out hatch, too, should've been 900-950 kilos.

Man let me tell you, I drove the Audi R8 4.2 v8 on a driving experience and the manual gator was shocking, I stepped out of that straight into a Gallardo 5.0 v10 and it had flappy paddles, my god what a difference! The gator on the R8 is completely aluminum which probably explains the sound, not covered by a leather sleeve like a regular car for example, very clunky and not to my taste, I found it awkward to use

Reminds me of a day at Blyton when a crappy stripped out cheap and cheerful Clio 172 on slicks was one of the quickest cars on track and it was worth eff all (no offence to the owners).

That R8's gearbox sounds fantastic. I like the sound it makes when it shifts into another gear. I wish more cars had gated manual gearboxes.

I was cheering for the clio

That Clio does look very good, even parked up next to an R8.

It is V10 plus he special optioned it out with a 6 speed manual...that's why Mr. Meaden is the man. Keep in mind the Clio is outweighed by 300+ KGs also. Do the math that's a ton of horsepower gained back, then couple it with slicks. Awesome vid would love to see more of the driver window view where we can see the wheel movements more first person views would be excellent. Thanks again for very cool compare

Breaking news: Race car is quick.

Great video, blimey though you've slimmed down Dickie! Well done bloke!

Was all ready to contribute to the slicks vs. road tyre argument, but considering the power, weight and drivetrain differences, and how damned close they were in time, I think this was actually a good test.

Really great comparison this one! Also, I loved seeing the manual gearbox on the R8, with the sounds of the open gate and heel&toeing...

I love that the R8 he's running has a proper open gated manual. *Click-clack* Beautiful.

impressive interior car and face modelisation but the road texture is not very realistic apart from the grass maybe

Attention, reading my former message no fast conclusion on me. I'm a fan of all great sport cars without to see the brand but just for me if the car deserves that. And so if I'm a fan of the Renault Sport cars and a happy owner of a Clio RS (but the Grand'Ma of all, the 1st and unique CLIO 2RS Mk1 ^^), BUT I love also the Audi R8 and R8+ of course! There the Clio 4 Cup has much less of power, is a FWD and much less expensive car, but it is a real "little big" racing car, and there to build that, the French racing builders are among the best in the world and maybe even the best seeing their results. The Audi R8 is a very nice and efficient GT Supercar but it is not a real racing car. IF I WERE A RICH MAN, I HAVE THE 2 SPORT CARS ! :p

would be interesting to see if the V10 Audi can pull the same figures with the Clio's bigger brother, the road version 2019 Megane Trophy 300, £31,000 new and I bet that would still lap faster than the Audi..

Why so much hate on the Audi? There is a GT4 and GT3 version of it if you want to go racing with it. That's not the point of the vid. Great comparison!

That Clio was tripod-ing all over the place!

incredible ;) That the Clio with 322hp less than the R8 just "looses" with one second ;)

I don't know why so many of these car vlogs insist on keeping the camera on the presenter.

I own a normal Clio Phase II 1.4 L 100HP 5 doors model 2003-4 i bought it brand new in April 2nd 2004 : It's a nice car for everyday use and also for long distances it doesn't tire me driving it :-) Now about this video to be honest i was expecting Audi to win but i got surprised . Of course the Clio is a race car and has race settings from the other hand Audi ir a road car and although it has more power is also heavier and that's why it lost the battle !! It's an awesome car and more goodlooking than Clio but also both are tottaly different cars !! Yet it is pretty much true that european supercars are too much overrated they are much - much more expensive that what they offer unlike Japanese and American cars yet i'm not saying that european supercars are not good they are just too much expensive !! Personally i'm a fun of Vettes and especially for the new c7 zo6 and also i'm a fun of Godzillas -Nissan GT-Rs .Those cars in relation to european supercars offer so many things without costing too much :-)

Yeah but at Blyton park, big cars just don't work. I was there this week in both a 420R Caterham and a current M3 Competition Pack running around 550hp, and the BMW felt like an enormous boat around such a small track. It has no real long straights and its hard to get any real speed up in a huge power car. Go to donington park, and the time gap would be hugely in favour of the audi. This isn't a power track, it's a handling track. Sadly this doesn't prove much, just that a small car on a small track is better than a big car on a small track.

I've been cross-shopping these two cars. After this video I can now make a better informed decision. Thanks EVO

I really like that you can order even the R8 plus with a manual gearbox

So many comments about the manual transmission. As far as I know officially you only get the 7-speed double clutch gearbox in the Plus, but if you ask, Audi will put the manual 6-speed in the car

Is the Clio RWD or FWD?

Would just love to point out that the Continental Sport Contacts on the V10+ are complete garbage for track work when it comes to setting lap times. Car needs at least Michelin Pilot Super Sports or the other P Zeros on which the other R8's come with. Any road legal track tire or aggressive summer tire would've made a significant impact on the R8 here, opening the gap even more so.

***** If it's not too much trouble, could you post the time of both cars together at the end? Thanks

He clearly wasn't even pushing that hard in the Clio. Clio could of easily smashed the R8s time

You don't know that. But anyway. Think about something else. The V10 plus, has the double clutch gear box and not the 6 speed manual. Do you know how faster the double clutch can go from one gear to an other, than you doing it with the hand? More than 0.1... (for every single time). And I;m closing with this. Rue said race cars always gonna wind road cars. AND IN THIS TIME IT DIDN'T. I don't care why and how. It just didn't my friend. And that's what I was commenting!!! Have a nice day.

Why did the timer for the Clio start at 1 second and not 0 seconds?

You can say whatever you want, it appears that the Clio is WAY more exciting to drive.

Manual in a V10 Plus???

It's all about power to weight ratio my friends

got to love hot hatches :)

cool video but everyone knows if you pit a supercar against a smaller, normally weaker car that has been gutted, tuned and on semi slicks then there won't be much of a difference in times.

Damien W Indeed. There is a power difference, but also many hundred kilos of weight, slicks, race suspension and so forth. The Clio - once at speed - can keep the pace through corners much better, where the R8 need the extra hp to get back the lost time in the corners. Two very different ways of driving fast, and I'm amazed by both cars. I just wished Audi would make a gt3 style version of the R8. Imagine having the V8 with less hp, but more characteristic note and power delivery. Add to that the open-gated manual, pushrod suspension, roll cage and a stripped out interior bringing weight down to about 1200 kg. Even with road legal tires that thing would eat other super cars for breakfast, and be more driver focused with the manual transmission, race suspension and low weight. Power is only needed to the point where you can actually use it, rather than spin the wheels all the time.

Looks like he's having more fun with the Clio. But the stereo must be better in the Audi.

the numbers?

Continental tires are the worst! The poor Audi never had a chance.

This guys a good driver

Oh wow a manual R8, Bout damned time.

The plus only comes with S-Tronic, that is just a V10 with ceramic brakes.

You should show a drag race in every video!

What kind of cral are you saying that the clio is pretty close to the road version? Are you nuts? Slick tyres, no interior so way lighter, serial gearbox, 200+ hp more by the engine.... different exhaust, and air filters and you are calling this pretty much the same?.. Pointless test a race car should be faster than a roard supercar.

You know what I don't like. When reviewers talk while trying to get a good time. Concentrate on the driving and do a voice over.
