RS4 Performace

[Brooner]

Interesting stats I was reading the review in Audi Driver of the ultimate hair dressers car the RSTT Plus and looking at the performance comparisons and was very pleasantly surprised by the B8 RS4 and the V10 5.2 R8 it lists as follows

B8 RS4 R8 V10 Coupe
0-50 3.5 3.6
0-60 4.4 4.4
0-70 5.6 5.4
0-80 6.8 6.9
30-50 Third Gear 2.7 2.7
30-50 Forth Gear - 3.4
50-70 Third Gear 2.6 2.6
50-70 Forth Gear - 3.3
50-70 Fifth Gear - 4.2
50-70 Sixth Gear - 5.1

I'm a little surprised by this as having driven both, I'd suggest the v10 R8 is quite a bit faster

[Brooner]

yep i find it a bit funny i think they might have got the figures mixed with the R8 V8

V10 R8 is 3.9 to 62 - official.

Quicker still with sTronic isn't it?

Missed a blast in a plus last week thanks to wife wibble, fecking women.

Sooner have a V10 than a V8!

Figures don't look right to me...even so I know what I'd rather have!!

[Brooner]

yes apologies for posting horse <beep> been trawling through my Audi driver mag but i cant find the V10 performance figures but as ___ posted sub 4 sec's but have to disagree i much perfer the sound of a high revving V8

I can confirm having driven an R8 V10 for the last five days it is a fair bit quicker than the RS4 and the noise it makes is epic but for me its not an everyday useable car (although I'm sure some people do) but if finances allowed an excellent weekend car. Now, where's my lottery ticket from the weekend.................
