Honestly I'm a real Porsche fan, but I'm really impressed with the R8! Damn, that engine is something extra and it's now even more good looking than it was before. Well done Audi! Although I'd like to see the MK2 Turbo S later on.

I totally agree, those cars are AWD but can slide like a RWD in some wet condition. Especially for Porsche. Where is the rear wheel steering?? Or maybe the AWD split torque much slower or the ESC applied mildly. The suspension setting of Audi R8 and Turbo S are similar, front suspension caster is about +7.0-7.3 degrees. The Turbo S may have more caster, so the front end should be as sticky maybe it's the torque that gives 991 a bigger slide. The R8 seems slide with much less counter steer, more like 4 wheel drifting. The reason maybe weight distribution and AWD torque split. Talks about weight distribution, the Turbo S with a weight distribution of 39.3%/60.7% vs R8 42%/58%. The Porsche Turbo S also packed with a way softer damper, although PDCC aids mid corner body roll but not pitch, the car pitch a lot as I can see. For the transmission, Audi did a great job if it able to shifts quicker than PDK like he mentioned. Anyway, I'll pick Audi R8.

Dan your reviews are getting better and better. Lovely descriptions that really hammer home what these cars are like to drive. Nice job! 👍😊

I'm going to be that guy and say it: Has anybody noticed that no matter what the situation, the 911 always seems to have a "given" condition? If it manages to lose the time attack like this case, it's given a win due to its "personality". Which I think is funny given that it's the benchmark standard boring porsche. (But granted, I do like the thing. I'm not a butt hurt Audi fan here guys. I do enjoy porsche.) But the 911 is always kept protected and sacred by car reviewers. If it loses somewhere, it's given a win due to it being the 911. The Audi I think has more personality than Mr serious the turbo beetle with its v10 screamer and it's aggressive styling. So I'm calling bullshit now. And it isn't exclusive to evo either. Many other companies do this as well with other shootouts with the 911. Now I'll wait for the stupid replies about being an angry Audi fanatic. I know they're coming in spite of me stating I'm a porsche fan.

I didn't like the previous generations of 911 turbo, but this new one... it's just a golden ratio. Overall, beautiful exterior as well as luxurious, very comfortable interior, astonishing performance figures, the car's very durable and robust, Porsche is just polishing it from gen to gen. Ideal car with a biting price, but when a simple stage 1 ECU tune and custom exhaust allow you to see F12 and Aventador in read mirror, it's worth every penny. But people prefer lambos and rarris for showing off, 911 turbo looks boring to them.

To quote EVO; "The R8's front axle is just better than the 911, letting it handle corners better and cary more speed". On top of that the engine is N/A, has more HP, is mid-mounted, AND is faster. Please say again how it can't match the 911?.... lol.

I think that drag race is necessary in all of the deadly rivals episode .

Why not both?

You're one of my best reviewers bro, keep on it!

really surprised by the audi, great front end. didn't think it had the firepower to match the 911's boom of torque and traction out of lower speed sections

The R8 is the better car. It both looks and sounds better and has a better interior.

A proper review. Thanks EVO!

The front license plates on Audi ruin the whole optics. Clamp behind de window please!

2011-2012 car vs 2015....we need the new 991 mark 2 turbo s....and you know it evo!

Audi R8♥♥♥

Wait.,.. Audi R8 V10+ : Faster gearshifts, carries more speed through the corners and has faster lap time? I am a Porsche guy who always thought that R8 is just a ''Show Car''! I feel like an idiot.

Very nice! It is interesting what happens when the traction goes down.

Great video, two of my favourite new cars :)

This needs to be redone at a later date with the new Turbo S mkII and in good weather at Anglesey with Jethro for consistency. Can't wait to see those times on the leaderboard.

Great job with this video!

Thought this was actually a great review. The editing and the reviewer's very articulate commentary were well synced--especially during the reviewer's description of the "soft" playfulness of the 911 in corners and the accompanying shots (1:58-2:40), which, I think, perfectly illustrated the point he was trying to make. And when the reviewer described the "neutral" balance that the car can have, if you choose to prioritize speed (in the case of setting a lap time), the corresponding shots genuinely conveyed the sense of the reviewer's words--you can see what he means when he mentions the "neutral" balance of the chassis in a high speed corner (2:40-2:49).

Every time I see a new EVO video has popped up I get excited. Then I realise it's the new guy, I realise new people need to learn the ropes but mix it up a bit, the emotion doesn't appear real - a bit wooden. Relax, be yourself and talk from the heart about how you feel about the cars, say what you see not what you think you should say...

great video mate👍

Well presented. Kudos

I really like Dan's work, great presenter!

These deadly rival videos are the best.

I'm an older cat and while I love Porsches there's just something about the R8 that captures the imagination. I mean seriously, is there a better daily driver supercar out there? I'd be fine with the R8 V10 Spyder @ 540HP variant. Just a beautiful 21st century car with a N/A V10 motor. Oo La La.

Amazing video, but why didn't put the facelift turbo s?

great video!!! despite being my favorite ride it is visible the 911's front suspension is not as good as the r8's

the new Audi r8 Looks so good omg

I like the exotic nature of the Audi, but I'd take the 911 Turbo S. People would be like, "Oh, just another Porsche." But I don't care what other people think. The car is for me, not them. When it comes to the ability to buy such cars, and what other people think when they see it, I would get a decal that reads, "I am not trying to show off. This car is for me. I bought this car because I love driving and this car drives amazingly. Please save your "hater" thoughts because I'm not trying to impress anyone." Big decal lol

Nice stuff! Just a slight niggle: the 911 doesn't have a 'front axle', it has independent suspension. Might be better to refer to it as the 'front end' in terms of loading. Just a thought..

Please do it again with the 991.2 and a dry surface... also test in public roads!

The Continental SportContact 6 has a lot more traction in the wet compared to a Pirelli P Zero tyre.

I'm guessing the massive difference in torque especially at the low rpm range means the turbo s would be much better for daily driving around town or am I wrong? Don't know how bad the turbo lag is on this monster though.

These cars are both amazing and they really push each other from generation to generation! Altough the R8 looks and feels more exclusive the 911 is the everyday supercar. Understated when you just want to blend in and an animal when you want to be loud. That classic 911 profile which you can draw with a single line on a paper is pure art, it never gets old, and the car is just on a slightly higher level in terms of engineering than the R8. Also, let's not forget we're comparing the current R8 with the "old" 991 here. But, as I said, two amazing cars from two amazing companies that lead the field in terms of technology and engineering.

I guess it shows how a lot of these car companies that have a motorsport division will filter some of the technology they use in racing down into their road cars. Now as long as Ferrari doesn't start putting V6 turbos in their cars as some sort of Ferrari F50 homage I'm okay with it.

Wet track yields imprecise lap times meaning its possible 911 GT2 Turbo could of lapped around this track faster. I agree with some comments that 911 GT2 could make use of probably a different interior color scheme to look less boring but to me it looked as if if the R8 was harder to control. Less wrestling & steering wheel twitching in hard cornering & sharp turn ins

Should have waited and put the Audi against the newer 911 Turbo S which has more power etc etc .

Well ok, the R8 looks dope though, and I will never take my car in a track racing and getting concerned about a few seconds. Does the Porsche look like a supercar or a sports car? Also the R8 V10 Plus does a 0-100 km/h in 2.6 seconds (tested), 3.2 (official) what more do you need?

If it wasn't for the bad exterior styling, I would be sold on the R8! Well, I still would take it over the Porsche in a heartbeat, everything just seems better. And that V10 roar, damn! If the R8 could just go back to its original design style I'd be so happy! - The 911, though, is a beast too!

uploaded on my birthday and it includes my favourite car (911 turbo)

Jesus, the gearbox on that Audi. It even sounds so immensly quick.

I am glad that 911 wing was up because it looks cool without it

wow, the new R8 is really a triumph. 911 TURBO use to be my favortie, but the new R8 looks better sounds better a bit faster and even priced a bit cheaper... damn

The most interesting thing about this vid is the playfulness of the Porsche. I would like to know more about the quality of the Audi's new steering, as that car sounds sensational

I never take these 1 lap shootout results seriously. In these conditions those lap times could easily shift either way by over a second by taking one corner slightly better.

Dear santa, For this christmas... Pls Lord, I will become religious again. I won't be a theist again...

I am a hard-core Porsche guy, the temptation is strong with the new R8. It's lovely on every way

I believe that torque curves\bands matter more than torque figures... The Porsche does have a lot more, but down at 2200RPM... Speeding takes place at higher RPM so torque in said range is more important & the Audi - seemingly(because the Porsche could have similar or more at 6500RPM) - has that & it's max HP & torque figures are closer together - another plus...

The only consolation is that the engine - even with a max torque at 2200RPM - may of course still be able to produce decent\usable torque at higher RPMs, which is why the car runs decent otherwise(away from 2200RPM)...

Marvin has a fantastic point. A turbocharged engine is going to run out of steam if it's max power is made down low at high Rpms Look at next to any racing video and notice that downshifting and braking into a corner no one is anywhere close to 2k Rpms. Your time is spent in the middle of the rev range powering out of a corner so I bet that the power figures are probably pretty close but the responsiveness of a naturally aspirated engine is what makes the difference. Yes they are road cars, but they are definitely built for track use. They have incredible suspension and braking systems for these purposes. If they were just meant for straight line speed it would be a different story, but that's not the case. You got to think cars like these (not the turbo s though) are repurposed and turned into GT3 racing vehicles. I'd say the platform is more than capable than "a typical street car" it's no camaro

@Speednote10

8 жыл бұрын

Aaron Barajas Of course they have huge potential on a track, but the Turbo was built to be fast on the road and it is much more of a GT than a track car. Any car with almost 600hp and a top speed of 200mph is going to have big brakes, so they are not there because of potential track use. A Bentley CGT has got bigger brakes than both of these cars for example. Your arguments about racing videos are exactly my point. Since the Turbo is not built to be a track car they focused on making the power band as wide as possible to make the it as accessible as possible . Kind of exactly the opposite from a GT3, which is a "track car" and only really gets going above 6000rpm.

Rain makes sense. AWD makes more sense then. Gives the edge on a GT3 & AMG GT-S

should really have waited for the 991.2 turbo s before doing this test...

still have a major soft spot for all kinds of V10s. LFA and Lamborghini V10s make the best sounds imo

Easy. I would take R8 it looks much better than boring 911 and as I can see it is better to drive. And NA V10 is too amazing. I love Turbo for Speed but if R8 without any Turbo is faster I take this.

I'd like to see Porsche GT3 RS vs the Audi on a dry circuit.

I honest don't get why you'd ever buy a 911 over the R8. Not only is the R8 cheaper, it's naturally aspirated, well balanced, mid engined, better looking and it's a supercar. The 911 is sportscar. Porsche could make the 911 even better, if they didn't stick to this silly tradition of mounting the engine in the back, the car will always be compromised. It's like asking Nicki Minaj to race Usain Bolt, it's all going to go wrong. It obviously doesn't, but you just know development of every 911 starts with ''right gentlemen, what are we going to about the rear end weight?''.

this shows u how great the 911 turbos engine is being compared to an engine with 4 more cylinders

Where is the ROAD test. That's where most of us would be driving these cars 90% of the time, these track sessions should only be a PART of the review(s)

should of done the test with the mk2 991 911. 30+ HP and better goodies all around

It's sad that the R8 has lost its playfulness. I mean, as far as I know, that was one of the main reasons the 1st gen was praised.

But the Audi r8 is a new facelift and got new technology so I think the new face lift Porsche 991 Turbo should have no problem to win against the Audi so it would be nice if EVO do this test again with the new turbo.
