nightmare.

 

All the traction control, handling, 4wd... makes no difference if you car weight nothing and your running massive tyres. Makes you think; trusting your life to all the engineering, allwoing to push a bit harder than a sup, but when it goes it's gone... bigtime.

clarkson was in the r8 and hammond in the porsche.the stig then took the R8 around the track with plenty of close ups of the rev counter and speedo

 

What did the rev counter max out then, did tehy show you? how did it do around the track? what what was the overall concensus of the car?

Better than the Porsce.

 

What the hell is he doing without a belt. With all the safety built into that car he would've survived with belt on. :(

My mate John gets his R8 tomorrow, hope he keeps a steady head. Hopefully I'll get a jaunt in it tomrrow night, see how it hangs out lol.

 

Personally I am anti mid engine, all back to my "pendulum" comments, great cars on a "Billiard table" flat track, but in the real world just damm dangerous. They ought to stay on poster in kids bedroom walls IMO.

Yeah, you get to see it quite a few times. Its the same as an RS4, so has a nice high rev limit.

 

Shame to see that car in such a mess.... great shame he didnt survive. What a waste
