Title: Gen 1 Audi R8 V10 or 991 Carrera S
Post by: Black9 on September 25, 2016, 05:53:05 pm
Has anyone owned or driven any of the above. Considered one of the above maybe next year if I sell my C63. Would be preferably manual for both cars and most likely a coupe.

They're both around the same price but 2 totally different cars

991 turbo S or Audi R8 V10+ would be ideal but the latest models are well out of my price Range..

Never driven a Porsche but I have driven the R8 V10 - absolutely awesome motor and the sound is amazing. I didn't want to get out the driving seat.

Oh and I've driven the C63 too....nice car. Would love one but can't afford  :scared:

You will know the answer yourself depending how and when you would use the car

The Audi has the pace, sound and looks but the 991 has everything else

For me, a lot of the pleasure from driving a fast car, is the noise it makes.

Now, find me a porsche that sounds anywhere near as good as this R8 (skip to 3:30 onwards, and 4:50). I think it has a capristo exhaust from memory, but can check.

The mic audio isn't very good. In person; epic.



Also, working in the city of London; every clueless tw*t with a bit of money buys a 911. They're everywhere. Like the ford focus of zone 1.

It's a long way off but think V10 R8 is the one. Do Audi use the twin clutch DSG / Stronic in the first gen v10 r8?
