I know most of you aren't fans of Nissan GTR. But rumours has it that the GTR EVO is going to blow all these times we have seen here. Low 7:40's is what was mentioned. Don't know how true. But apparently even the "base" GTR will be in the 7:50's. So while the R8 is the current darling of the press, it isn't going to stay that way for long.

I agree with all three of your posts!
Article is very interesting and some claims by von Saurma in it seems to be the truth.
When I wrote sometime ago that on my test drive R8 did not feel any faster then RS4 some people call me crazy...
R8 is still without a doubt great car but, it will never be as fast as Gallardo...

He also mentions that the suspension setup is too soft for the track

Well, I re-read all latest Sport Auto Supertests and something started to bother me... I even called my friend who works for Motorpresse and he told me some things...
Something was clearly wrong with Sport Auto R8 test car since other(ice silver) example achieved better metrics when measured by sister AMS mag...
Example No.1 in Sport Auto test R8(brilliant red) achieved only 132km/h in Auswecihtest 110m and silver R8 example at AMS achieved on ISO-Wedelgasse(very similar test to Ausweichtest 110m) 149,4km/h!! Difference is very big indeed since silver car was with Magnetic Ride and normal Pirelli Hero tires...
Example No.2 On the Ring RS4 achieved top speed on Doettinger Hoehe(top speed check point on the Ring) of 262km/h, R8 achieved only 254km/h!! I made some calculation on sector times and if R8 top speed were the same 262km/h final lap time would be around 8.00-7.59min.... Much close to what we all expected!
Apparently this red R8 did not delivered all 420hp... But, blame is on Audi only, not on Sport Auto stuff.

Kreso re-read the explanation for why the R8 acheived such a slow maz speed on the ring. It was because of its poor drag coeficient compared to RS4.
NO Ok, then it explains this kind of answer from you...

Take it easy Kreso, it is funny how defensive of the R8 you are. When the first tests showed it was faster than the 997tt you would not accept any critisism of the numbers and blamed all doubters to be porshein now that it is seen that the 997tt is actually faster around the ring you are trying to find excuses yourself. Even you said the R8 didn't feel any faster than an RS4. Maybe the car is not as amazing as first believed. Maybe the silver car was hot and the red was normal. Who knows? But no, I am not "as wrong as possible."

Aren't red cars always the fastest?
Only when driven by Germans who like to take pictures of their cars with trees in the background

Hey, it wasn't me.

@ KresoF1: I hope they gonna change something on the steering ratio and adapt it to the steering diameter of the R8, when you've been driving both cars, you have to admit, that the Gallardo has a to wide turning circle
