Ande the Audi R8 Ring time achived by Sport auto is...

...8.04min!!!(standard suspension, Ceramic Brakes, bucket seats, Corsa tires)

Just as a reference:

RS4 8.09min(SS+, Ceramics, Corsa's)
Aston V8 Vantaage 8.03min(Corsa's)
Porsche 997CS 8.05min(PCCBs, -20mm/LSD, Michelin Pilot2 N1)
Ferrari F430F1 7.55min(Ceramics, Corsa's)
Corvette Z06 7.49min
Porsche 997 GT3 7.48min(PCCBs, Michelin Cup's)


8.04 is not a bad time for 420 hp.

People expect too much these days.
The difference between the 996TT and the 997TT is 1 (ONE!) second!

Congratulations!

Surprising...


From everything I've read, it sounds like it excels on the short/tight tracks (even beating the 997 turbo).

that's NOT what i expected based on all these numbers that have been published regarding how much faster the car is than a 997tt

i guess it handles really really good, just doesn't have enough power

Faster than the Carrera with LSD and -20 suspension? It would be interesting to see what i could do with cup tires.

Just wait for the more powerful version! I think with 500+ horsepower, it can break the 8 second barrier.

I didn't mean the straight line either. I read that the magnetic ride is much better in town and for everyday but the sport suspension available from Audi as an option handles better and achieves better in the track.

no that cn't be...
there is no "sport" suspension on the r8
its standard, or audi magnetic ride

and there is no way it's better than the standard suspension ... just look at how it works

it isn't designed to give you a soft ride on the street, it's designed to adjust instantly to dampening and rebounding, so you're stuck to the ground better

Maybe in the states. In the UK and probably the rest of europe too there is the magnetic ride option for 1150 pounds and the sports suspension for 425.
