Audi R8 vs Porsche 911 Carrera - Top Gear - BBC 

+Stryke It's probably the most perfect shot in all of Top Gear. You have the R8 in a straight line in-focus, then here comes the wild, maniacal 911 swinging wide behind it to try to ruin its day, the focus then blurs the R8 and settles on the 911. Things are about to go down. If I were a movie director of car chases, I would be constantly using that shot. It's an absolute masterpiece.

Holy shit I was about to say. Best car entrance ever

They used it in the intro for years too

I think I bought my car strictly based on that intro...

And the 911 did manage to ruin the R8's day.

Nah, they own Lamborghini and Bugatti. Easy to copy and paste

@@juandef4115 which they didn't do, they improved it big time. You can now drive a Lamborghini without it falling apart at one point

The original R8 is one of the most beautiful cars ever made.

Past experience from Le Mans and Group B

Not a big deal with so much experience from LeMans and other races.

funnymakeslifesunny well ferdinand porsche designed vw beetle. and vw owns porsche not 100% but some

***** 49.9%

gowtham chowdary thank you

***** your welcome

funnymakeslifesunny nah mate...."he's probably rabbitting on in there about how he feels an organic part of the machine when the simple fact of the matter is, HE'S BEHIND ME!..........#MEGALOL......

Yeah it does

Yeah definitely you can tell the 911 has changed a lot but the Audi is timeless

@@morganatkinson4768 911 ist also very timeless in my Opinion. I just like the R8 alot because it way more rare than the 911, at least in Germany.

It does not look anywhere near the same though, the 911 has changed as well but not as much and the Porsche was always the better looking car.

@@morganatkinson4768 That is one of the most retarded replies I have ever read on the internet. The Porsche has basically been the same for 30 years but the Audi does NOT look anywhere near the same today. That's not to even mention the engine in those cars. The Porsche has the boxer six, as it had since it was first introduced in 1963 while the new Audi has nothing what so ever in common with that version, nothing at all, not a single thing. Jesus Christ you couldn't be more wrong if you took a lifetime of trying.

in comes the porsche haha

Man, this powerslide gives me to much life... I watch it every few months

honiballist that power slide is the reason Hammond is in the hospital all the time

The scene from forza motorsport 4

Adham hamed 21 hours ago haha I was just about to write that, I actually came here from that

Exactly my thought!!! If only he had seen the later generations of the r8👀

+Trevor Price to be fair, only kids could possibly fit into these back seats ...

Lamborghini aventador and Ferrari laferrari and BMW i8 and pagani zonda cinqu roadster and mercedes sls AMG all look better then this

true, I will get this one

AUDI Q7 VS BMV X6

@104588468812239755218 YOUR WRONG. very. Most of those cars are laptops, mere computer cars, with no soul or passion. And 2 are even a hybrid!! You need to grow taste. The R8 is ageless in design, the others look like they were all crashed. Dents and bends, angles, twists and turns. Its mere windtunnel design, not sexy. Ok, except the Pagani.

but it has no o seets ol

I’d make an argument for the 2008 RS6 Avant.

I prefer the new 2020 RS6/7

100% I love the 2011 version. The 2016 one looks like an old lizard whose vomited it's insides out through it's hideous protruding grille. Plus they removed that rear 'panel-wing'. That's a big nono to remove a design quirk like like, a piece of soul really!

I agree with you but from outside only not from inside

@@netweed09 It is everyone's else's preference. I actually like 2016 and newest R8's

+Jonathan Cheung definitely, yes. This has to be one of the best scenes ever shown on television.

Go to bed, Hammond.

I'm from the future, it looks dated and not that great today IMO.

​@@johnhunter7244yep

Yeahhh

*v8

V8*

Mmm, steamed V8.

+8x5t3e7s4r6y Its like Jackie Chan. small and tiny yet so amusing and powerful.

Type in Audi r8 advert on rolling road.Thats Sooo much better then a straight six

flat 6*

Yeh that

It's actually 3.6 liters

...performed by a racing driver

Its be better to sleep with kiera knightly so this car is not as good as it could be Jokes aside though this car looks bad and expensive and boring, it is good but thats how it is, id take something fun like a corvette or that porsche

@@michealbithi1290 I think if you smear honey into hear you kinda advanced over just sleeping with her

Meh, I'll pass - she's too skinny with a freakish underbite.

Looks better than the new one in my opinion

The best generation of the both cars, But i prefer the 997.2 (facelift).

Its the iron man car. The smart and elegant supercar

The prototype was even more gorgeous, those head lights and wheels were bonkers.

Nicolas Broszky New r8 is super sexy

yeah that mid-2000's styling was horribly gaudy...the new R8's are much better looking

Ege Coskunsoy truly

New R8 is terrible looks so boxy

it did pioneer LED running lights which everyone copied. edit: personally I like all the R8s including the Le Mans Quattro concept. my personal favorite being the late model first gen R8 V10 with the 6-speed.

In his defense they quickly changed them to not include all those little individual LEDs and just made it a clean line

Some say thats his actual car

Every Porsche looks like a beetle in the front

@@karimgougui5686 996

@@karimgougui5686i think porsche used to make beetles fkr vw and they evolved the design

Ironically Saying it inside a car made by Volkswagen

11 my friend, 11 years! 😂

Almost 12

11

2020 bro.

12 my man

I like the experimental cinematography in the og Top Gear.

The 996 looked better.

Firemarioflower The 996 looked worse. 997 mark 2 and 991 are the best IMO, along with the older 911s.

NoStressCrossfire NO they aint. The old ones arent balanced and the new ones are for control freaks and geeks. The 996 is the best looking ever. Not a beetle for once. The 991 is such a fake car, having 4 wheel steering, electronic power steering, dsg clutch (so has the 997), ugly rear lights, 2000 suspension settings, dumbass gismos, a true nerdfest. NOT a proper Porsche. The 996 is beautiful and the most fun porsche to drive. Not to mention more reliable and sounds god like. It handles fabulously and pure on instinct. A REAL porsche, that communicates with you.

Martin Allen No why would i?

I don't know why but 911s kinda remind me if a fish

It has been discontinued💔

This generation is so iconic

+jason lol innit

+jason When I 1st saw it, I thought the World was spinning the wrong way, and that before I saw it was made by Audi,,, xD

+jason i know right!

Clarkson also said that F50 looks horrible to him and F40 looks amazing. Different taste. I love the F50, but i don't really like the R8 design. Looks boring.

It isn't.

Siddharth Senthilnayagam unless it comes to emissions.

Tomfoolerydoozle its a problem of the industry You realize they busted almost all at this point? The rest fixed the software. What vag did was in your interest. They tried to fool the state and protect your engine from getting destroyed due to ruining it with all that shit thats done to it in order to reduce co2 and no emissions

Vag. Hmmmmm. That sounds familiar

gives me goosebumps every time

Aye

No we have daytime running amber lights like in the Ford Raptor LOL

well, I think they already made that into production mate

@@LonesomeDrifter1987 no, it was used in the r10 for the lemans but not in the road going r8. The car that got the v12 tdi was the q7, but the engine in it shared only a few parts with the r10.

Mohamad Hadi thank you for noticing that... I suspect it was covering another set of plates RV06 KVH

Yeah its crazy how far cars have come

I heard the new porsche was the fastest right?

OverSizedMidget Theres no competition. Porsche has always been THE ONE TO BEAT for a reason.

eduardomdsr I just meant that i read that the new Porsche 918 Spyder is the fastest car in the world i don't know if that's true

+OverSizedMidget McLaren P1 and LaFerrari are both faster, but honestly who cares? None of us mere mortals will get to drive it.

Bailey Smith we might make a lot of money

That’s cause cars today are all about 0-60 and dcts and turbos

I agree. A normal Audi A6 3.0 will outperform an old 911 or R8 at the highway. However, it is still much more fun to cruise in a 911 or R8 than in a fast limousine or estate car

@KoivuTheHab don't be too harsh with him, back then you couldn't edit RU-vid comments.

@@jooplin the guy has an inferiority complex, don't bother

TheCarFanForever I am just amazed how he can judge by a simple spelling error how good his education is, just pure comedy

@KoivuTheHab you look like you got triggered by that atheist comment. Believing in God in 2019, you're the one who needs an education, you Jesus freak. Ps: I didn't want to bring religion into a car video but I had to.

​@KoivuTheHab You sure must be a fun guy to hang out with. Do you point out every insignificant error of your friends to? Your company must be a real gift. Again, looking at a "grammatical error" (I hope I got it right this time) you are able to conclude this guy has no education, so you are making an assumption based on a serious lack of information. I think that indicates either a big ass inferiority complex that forces your attention on minor mistakes to make you feel better or you posses the cognitive ability of a greenfly, but I'll allow you to make this judgement by yourself because who would I be to have an opinion on someone based on some RU-vid comments.

That's because the only supercar they make is the 918. This on the other hand is a GT car

Do you have amy of them?

***** it is a supercar but the 918 replaced it

my friend said Porsche is better!

+Mansa Musa only super/hyper cars porsche makes is 918 and was carrera gt and well 959 but 911 isnt a super car you can simply tell that by 4 seats

Looks a lot better imo!

Bread Loaf it looks a lot better

Bread Loaf i have one and it is

tomgt4tom I find the older R8s much more inovative.

Yea

Yes

Those black rims make it look so mean

The most beautiful supercar of this century. Utterly iconic, elegant, sleek. And it looked like nothing else when it came out.

Yes sir

This is from 2008, when Audi (I think) start this trend. He thought it was a bad idea, now everyone is using it xD And yeah, looks awesome!

True, Audi started it all with the R8.

+Spencer Breneman shame that..

+Spencer Breneman I h8 supercars, and I love this 1 xD

You're a hairdresser, are you?

Totally agree with you
