J.Seven:

The 200Kph brake distance between Porsche and R8 is unbelievable , 13mts , it´s the difference between life and death in a possible accident while braking. 

There is only one tiny problem here: According to my knowledge, the cars haven't been tested back to back, the test values are values from single reviews, so not really fully comparable (especially breaking, which is very temperature sensitive).

However, the 991.2 Turbo S always achieves better braking values from 200 kph to 0 kph but the difference is usually 6-10 meters (depending on tires, the Cup 2 have slightly better values), which is of course also a lot.

Let's see how the new PZero R02 (current R8 have R01) is going to do, it is basically the same compound Pirelli uses for their new PZero N1 on the 991.2 Turbo S. Not sure however the R8 will ever hit 991.2 Turbo S braking distance times from 200 to 0 kph because the Turbo S has huge braking discs, especially in the front (420 mm vs 380 mm R8).

Btw: The 991.2 Turbo S brakes even better than the semi-slicked equipped 991 GT3 RS from 200 to 0 kph (by two meters). Smiley
