R8 vs GT3...
Audi R8 4.2 FSI vs Porsche 911 GT3
"Family feud"
Porsche reaches for the majority in the VW group - 911 GT3 and Audi R8 will soon belong to a family. The reason for the first track test of the unequal athletes. At the wheel: EX-DTM Champion Kurt Thiim
There were many rumours, as Porsche at the end of 2006 on entry into the Volkswagen Group announced. Some even feared at the time the end of the Audi R8 - he could perhaps the icon in the German Sportcars, 911, driving dynamically too close to him away-snatch customers. Porsche denied the reports.
How much momentum in Audi R8 is, clarifies now ex-DTM Champion Kurt Thiim on the Grand Prix track at Hockenheim in direct comparison. The candidates: the R8 with 420-horsepower mid-engine and 415 horsepower, Porsche 911 GT3. The characters of the two Renner are completely different. They cost more than 100000 euro - in the basic configuration. This notice is required because of the Porsche with optional ceramic brake system (8711) and Sport Chrono package (571 euros) to compete test track, while the Audi R8 the 19-inch wheels for forging 2140 euros and the two-adjustable magnetic ride suspension (1740).
Even when the driving and brake tests show both at their best. With 4.6 and 4.3 seconds (Audi / Porsche) reached the factory entries for the sprint from zero to 100 km / h playing. Even more remarkable is the pace brake values from 100: About 35 meters need the rivals in the first attempt, after ten tests required of the 911 GT3 average of only 33.6 meters, the Audi 34.4 meters. Peak values, the slight weight advantage and a driving dynamically optimum tyre selection show at 911. The GT3 is not only 200 kilograms lighter, he rolls also standard on Michelin Sport Cup semi-slicks whose grip level even at low temperatures on chewing gum recalls. For me personally, the Audi R8 a Lamborghini with four rings on it, but he is a little to come around, admits Kurt Thiim at the first sight of the R8. And the Porsche is probably the only cars, which allows a huge wings without thinking about to laugh. We know if the make, it must be something.
The Audi drives the first to the route. Due to the low asphalt temperatures warmed the tyres carefully. In the medium and long-drawn curves you need a lot of grip at the front, said Thiim. From penetrating V8 sound accompanied the Dane to slide with the R8 on the start line, on board is a GPS measurement system that records all driving dynamic data. At 192 km / h he slows the northern curve, in which the apex, there are about 125 km / h. The tachometer needle plummeting back up, Thiim ordered the corridors through the open stainless steel backdrop: You lose some time through the open scenery, it requires concentration and a precise management of the shift lever. He accelerated pace to 202, then, it goes through the right-left passage to the far-sweeping high-Parabolic. When you realize accelerating out the perfect interpretation of the four-wheel drive. You actually drive in a light, always controllable drift from the curve. The significant balance in the car is great, says the experienced professional racing.
Now it comes to pure power. With 430 Newton metres torque, the R8 is more powerful than the Porsche, but his greater weight eliminated this advantage. On brake point before the close pointed turn are no more than 233 cases there. You realize the heavy burden on the brake, but even after two rounds at the absolute limit on the steel braking system is still reliable. Since raise many other sports cars already in the towel. The next quick right turn in the Directions to Mercedes grandstand requires great courage. You have the car some time and not brutally clean-sting, otherwise you go at the end of the asphalt. Only when the front axle then goes exactly where you want, you can give full warns Thiim. The whole plays in the Audi at 161 km / h. Short acceleration to stand, then hard left and in a broad arc toward the Motodrome. Must be re-Thiim back to the tyres not to overwhelm - and that it is difficult: The engine turns incredibly fast high. About 4500 revolutions then you have the right force and a frenzied sound. Would come only on the sound, it would require the Porsche over-round. Since we will no longer stop. But the Hockenheimring demands more. In Motodrome are curvy chassis qualities needed. The adjustable magnetic ride suspension system works very well and fast. Without the hard would you vote on the racetrack lost. Before Sachs curve 164 km / h, in which the apex 76 km / h. In the following exchange curves, the R8 tired and quiet, infuses much confidence. After he shoots 2.00,65 minute on the goal line.
Thiim changes quickly in the Porsche. Mechanically rattling starts boxer in the stern. Thiim: You notice immediately, clutch, steering and circuit require a much greater effort. The brake has a more defined pressure point. The GT3 is more than racing sports cars.
On the first measuring point off the northern curve is the Porsche four km / h faster while in their apex and until the next Brake point a slight residue bargains for. The Porsche reacts with the semi-slicks still sensitive to lack grip at the front axle and under-steered. Then you have the car time to stabilize, said Thiim. At the end of the Parabolica is the ranking then clear. Only when the tempo is 244 professional in the brake, the Brake point is also 25 meters later than the Audi. The GT3 delayed brutal: Because you never need to worry, it works easily. The ceramic brake is on the racetrack worth every cent. When accelerating claws the 305 rear tyre on the tarmac. If the rear alive, you need it with stabilizing accelerator impacts under control. Because hectic accelerator -take away reacts with the GT3 load changes malicious transfer taxes.
The engine turns, thanks to reduced inertia fast high. You come with the little switch. They are as in the Audi care and a precise guidance demand. The GT3 now builds every curve in his lead. Until the Mercedes grandstand is more than two seconds. The subsequent Motodrome advantage in the 911 again. The transitions in the implementation of the GT3 by a curve in the other are razor, as you awake. With the GT3 quickly means a lot of hard work, warns Thiim. Always hard on the border it to drift forcing the Porsche by the last curve and 1.56,41 minutes after crossing the finish line - sovereign four seconds earlier than with the Audi R8.
CONCLUSION
The Porsche 911 GT3 wins on the race track against the Audi R8. Its lead of four seconds but also says a lot about the direction of the GT3: More racing cars on the road, there are only sharpened his brother GT3 RS. The weight advantage of the GT3 to the Audi R8 of 200 kilos, the standard semi-slick tyres, the sensational optional ceramic brakes, seats, circuit - everything is optimized for this application.
That is the control forces very high, the nervous strain for beginners because of the lack of ESP is well. If the GT3 begins to slip, the pilot only fractions of seconds to react. This is the Audi different. This helps the working perfectly all-wheel drive, good balance in the car. The ride comfort of the optional magnetic ride-chassis is amazing, the R8 is everyday than the GT3. Only on the racetrack nerves quadrant the open and build the tyres quickly. The series steel brake is on the other hand, stable enough. But perhaps builds Audi is still a club sport version of the R8 with semi-slicks...
