It’s time for an epic Audi showdown!
We’ve got Mat in the Audi R8 GT, and he’s about to go head-to-head against an Audi RS6 GT! The question is, which of these extreme Audis will come out on top?
Well, let’s check out the stats. Starting with the RS6, it’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that delivers 630hp and 850Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and the car weighs in at 2,075kg. As new, the RS6 GT had a price tag of £177,000.
Then we come to the R8. It’s packing a 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that can produce 620hp and 565Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,570kg. It’s a bit more expensive than the RS6, costing around £200,000.
So they both produce similar power, but while the RS6 may have four-wheel drive, it’s half a tonne heavier than the R8! Will this prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!
