Audi R8 on Top Gear

28.09.2007
In the first - opening episode of Top Gear new series there will be an Audi R8 setting a lap time at Top Gear track. Here is the whole description of upcoming episode (BBC has officially announced that it will be aired on October 7th):

Top Gear revs back into action for a new series. In the opening episode, Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May revisit their attempt to build amphibious cars and face up to one of their biggest – and choppiest – challenges to date.

The Audi R8 attacks the Top Gear track and Dame Helen Mirren is the Star In A Reasonably Priced Car.

Any ideas where R8 could end up in lap time board? Anyway - Clarkson's gonna love it. He has already done review at timesonline.com where he gave it 5 stars out of 5 and could not find any bad aspect of this car.

Heyhuub 01.10.2007
around the 1:23 i think.

FastestLaps 02.10.2007
On dry track (not very likely because TopGear is till filmed in GB) Audi R8 could be as fast or faster than Murcielago. 1:23 is a strong possibility.

Anonymous 02.10.2007
it's 2 secs slower than the gallardo spyder and a that does the top gear track in 1:25ish in the dry so i reckon 1:26ish

FastestLaps 02.10.2007
1:26? 200 kg heavier and front-engined Audi RS4 did 1:25.

Anonymous 02.10.2007
i dont think it will be quicker than 1:24

Heyhuub 03.10.2007
Just look at the time it set at Hockenheom, 1:12.7. Thats the same as a Ferrari F430.

FastestLaps 08.10.2007
Apparently there was no Audi R8 on this weeks TopGear. They have fooled us by releasing wrong episode description.

Wads 11.10.2007
I think 1:23 is realistic for the R8. The next episode of Top Gear doesn't appear to have the R8 either.

Georg 11.10.2007
it has to be a good handling AWD car to get high scooring place at topgear.. good chance for the R8 to get a 1:23min laptime.. a brave stick will perhaps be able to get into high 1:22min... in the UK the R8 recived some pretty good press from race drivers..

FastestLaps 11.10.2007
I would love to see Audi R8 vs M3 (E92) in track. Audi R8 has advantage. But still it would be a nice battle.

Georg 15.10.2007
1:24.4min on a damp track is pretty amazing...

Anonymous 15.10.2007
i was right - hooray

Anonymous 15.10.2007
Only because it was a wet track :-)

Anonymous 07.11.2007
when they say 4WD only a small amount of power goes to the front wheels
