I don't think it's sad.It's a hard fight the cars have the same HP,Audi has more weight,not much but a little bit.BMW has the better air drag coefficient with 0,33 vs. 0,35.Because of that the BMW catched the Audi at the higher Speed.Make a longer run and the Audi will win with the higher topspeed.
I think the R8 isn't maid for race.It's maid for the long run.
I don't understand why all the people here hate Audi R8.The Audi philosofie is that everyone
wants a sportcar should buy a Lambo and the people that want a sportive car should buy a audi.
Where is the problem?
