The GTR didn’t win. Fanboys be like:

GT-R Fanboys be Like: ‘Y U DO THIS?! GT-R IS BEST CAR IN THE WORLD!’ Which it actually isn’t, sad to say.

And never forget all the Dodge Hellcat fanboys.. “It has 707hp, best drag car ever“
Lol only 9th out of 12 cars

Actually for a 9 year old generation this is pretty good result.It will get faster when the new generation of processors and DDR is released :D I think the NSX will give better results at Nordshleife but still I didn’t expect the R8 to win.Congrats Audi :)
P.S. Audi,please try not to fill every cubic centimeter of free space with car parts and plastic.I don’t like the idea to drop the engine to change things like spark plugs and O2 sensors.

Tbh, a third place of the GT-R is still impressive. Specially because he beaten the rival NSX closely

Wow, they made an SVR Viper? So sick! (There was a mistake in the title)

ACR/SVR… That’s close enough, right?

That must have been so tiring with all that drag.

I wonder what really happened to the Aston Martin because they just can’t take it out because its too “slow”

Well it came dead last on the track so they probably just wanted to show mercy

On the second vídeo you can see the lap times of each car in Laguna Seca. The Aston was really slow compared to the other cars.

I think because it has a dogleg gearbox it would be the slowest to 60? Idk m8

I like how they positioned the cars so that they form a nice triangle during the drag race… But the Carrera S breaks the shape haha
Clearly they didn’t expect it to do so well :)
Imagine what a 991.2 Turbo S would do

It really is astonishing how effective Porsche uses the power in its cars.

A lineup of some of the most fantastic cars the car world can offer and my personal favorite from the bunch came second to last.
I am not angry, mustang. Just disappointed.

My favorite car in that group finished last, but I’m not mad lol the Camaro is still a really great car, it’s just no match against 100k$+ supercars :P

Same

Well there you have it, folks! The V10 Audi R8 is the best car in the world! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Yeah, in a straight line it is.Too bad that in 5 years you will have every plastic pipe replaced and ignition coils changed 6 times. I like it but it’s not petrolhead car for me :)
