Audi R8 Laps the Nürburgring

September 5, 2007 by George Skentzos

The Audi R8 is powered by a 313 kW V8 engine through Audi’s acclaimed all-wheel drive system with a 0-100km/h time of 4.4 seconds.

    I Would love an Audi V8, the sound of that v8 is great, and a lap of the ring without needing to overtake anyone, very rare lap.

  2. alborz says:

    Yes, indeed,
    he does seem a little slow though, from what I can gather its an 8min lap, thats a lot for an R8!

  3. falcon says:

    the main thing is he didn’t stuff it in the wall, was he a audi driver, or a block who owns one

  4. Sam® says:

    this car makes anything produced by bmw or mercedes look completely overrated.

  5. Bavarian Missile says:

    Come on Sam not all of BMWs & Mercs stuff is over rated
    give them some credit they have made a lot of good stuff over the years and Audi do use them as the bench mark they have to meet still dont you think? After all aren’t Audi producing cars to try and beat the both of them.

  6. Bavarian Missile says:

    How long does a set of tyres last around that track ? Tyres really sounding like that had enough towards the end.
