RE: Chris Harris video: R8 V10 vs 911 Turbo S vs GT-R

Great video, I particularly liked the Audi's centre console lid acting as a g-meter on the track!

[DB89]

I love all 3 but I'd have to have a fettled GTR.

Video was well worth the wait.

[Schermerhorn]

GTR 0-100mph on 5.7 seconds.


That is surely Veyron territory?

Evo timed a Veyron at 5.8s to 100mph and a standard GT-R at 8.4

Great film and superb slow-mo footage, absolutely first class!

Beaten to it! Ended up watching that for the rest of the footage once I'd seen it

Wasn't the original gearbox in the R8 called the R-tronic?

[cheddar]

Well done Chris.

You've just stolen a few dozen sales off of Porsche.

And upped the price of used GT3's.

Just on the basis on that video alone I'd take the R8.

[vrooom]

Never liked GTR until now.... look fast, Audi looked very dull and understeering.

[DoctorX]

Fab vid Chris but, please, go back to talking to the camera not some imaginary person to the side of it. Every documentary on TV does this and it winds me up for some reason.

Great film Chris.

A superb choice of cars - something for everybody.

I managed a couple of laps in an R8 V10 plus at Silverstone a couple of weeks ago courtesy of RMA . Standard road spec on road tyres. Unbelievably fast but friendly on the limit. I could have lapped all day.
There were some pretty quick cars on track and only the Radicals on slicks were quicker (and only through the corners). Mighty impressive.

GTR looks too much of a handful to me as even Chris seemed to look terrified behind the wheel so I would have no chance!

Personally I would take the R8 as really is a supercar you could use every day and make any journey no matter how big or small feel special one of the all time greats imo

R8 for me....easy choice.
Could easily live with it being the 'slowest'

That engine note is pure heaven.

[davidcharles]

....another tough day at the office...

I thought the 911 would be more impressive in the video, but Mr Harris played it down so much.
GTR impressive, but like others, I'd take the R8.

[405dogvan]

Aside from the stats whereby the Germans are demolished in embarrassing ways - I think Chris's silence after the GTR laps speaks volumes.

That said, none of those appeal to me - the 911 is dull, the R8 is a fat TT and the GTR is just fat.

Lovely video tho - the R8 does sound nice.

[Japveesix]

The GTR looked bloody scary but I really really want one now.

Couldn't take my eyes off the Audi's centre console thing....up, dwn, up, down. Really quite hypnotic.

Good vid though, although the GTR is obviously crazy fast the others both stood up to it pretty well imo.
