Are the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera S and Audi R8 4.2 FSI unlikely rivals? We took these sports cars to the track and they match up closer than you'd think.

  • what this is the Audi R8 V8 Version. You must compare the Porsche with the V10 model! Thats fair

  • @ianfoimbora if you can find a comparison chart that makes those noises, i'll agree with you. until then, this is good enough.

  • The Porsche sucks I love the Audi r8 it's better

  • @socratesRAM who gives a shit both of them are fucking super sports!!!!!!!!! So quit being a fucking Rich snob!!!!

  • no way the R8 V8 does 0-60 faster than the 2012 carrera S. You guys need to check your numbers or fire the carrera driver.

  • @chuckaloz Price no, power yes. Unless you splurge on all of Porsche's options the R8 v8 is still 20% more expensive, and by that logic a reasonable comparison would be an older GT3, especially because of the age difference between these two cars. And the current turbo/turbo S variants are more than adequate to provide an excellent comparison with the V10. The new Turbo will be exponentially more capable of outperforming most anything and should be saved for something equally ridiculous lol.

  • @chuckaloz Because "G" doesnt translate directly into cornering speed. It has as much relevance as measuring horse power without knowing the weight of the vehicle.

  • @vithaj92 How?

  • @MrPedroso88 Audi R8 is not more luxury than the 911, go to Audis website and see the interior options-materials vs Porsches, Porsche has way more.

  • @socratesRAM its closer in price and power when the turbo comes the v10 will race
