So why are they going to a new model soon?

The Turbo is an unbeliveable car.

 

Too bad it's a cab, they wouldn't have to scream to hear each other.



Nah, just kidding.

 

Cool. Thanks for sharing, nice video and exciting commentary, I would be scared to do that without helmets and so on, but they obviously know how to drive these cars hard around the track.

 

I already know the Turbo S will out-run the R8 V-10

 

the "regular" TT will out run an r8 v10.

 

Sadly, the Audis are a disappointment.

 

That was a trip - those guys are nuts.

 

Those speeds, top down...Just nuts!

Loved it!

 

In particular, I think V10 has been a disappointment! It has changed the balance of the car for worse and other parts of the car hasn't been tweaked enough for extra power.

I've tracked the V8-R8 on the Cataluna F1 circuit, and it is a HECK of a car to track! The amount of grip is phenomenal, definitely you can generate more G-force on corners than a 911... it was so good that the head of our local Porsche club and a huge hard core Porsche guy changed his GT3 to R8. He said, GT3 was still better on shorter, twisty tracks (ie. Mission Raceway), while R8 was better on longer more open tracks (i.e. Pacific Raceway). He is consistently faster than most GT3 guys at the instructor level.

The manual gear gates are a bit slow, which could explain the straight line difference here, and generally I believe this short track favored Porsche more. Nevertheless, R8 V-10 hasn't tested that favorably vs. the older V8!

 

love 5th gear

 

Me too, thanks to the OP for sharing.

 

I love Top Gear a lot more... 5th gear is 2nd best, Tiff and Jason are great and would have been better if not Jonny and other idiot who host the show!

 

I used to get Fifth Gear but no more. What happened?

 

That was a fun vid. Thanks for posting!
I think Tiff is right up there with Walter when it comes to driving 911s. Jason is no slouch either. It would have been interesting to see them swap cars and do the exercise again.
And I agree,....I think it's nuts when these TV guys run courses without head protection,...especially in a rag top.
