Jeremy Clarkson reviews the new Audi R8 supercar and claims it to be one of the best supercars in the world – only to be interrupted by a competitive Richard Hammond in a Porsche 911. Which one is better – the Porsche 911 or the Audi R8? The only way to settle this argument is through a Top Gear special drag race! Who will win? Watch this clip in full to find out.

One of my neighbors has an R8 in silver. Every so often I follow it to work which happens to be right next to my school. One day Im going to crash while staring at it, I know it.
That Audi R8 looks so, so…uh, I just can’t find a word to describe this car.
Entertaining review! Can’t argue with a Porsche 911 Carrera, but the R8 is a damn sexy car!
yeah, i was just giving u a hard time.
i love the r8 sooo much for many reasons cant list them all..but one is that its one of the few exotic supercars nowadays with a real gearbox….so that we can get a feel of the car instead of a computer doing all the work…=D
O wait i left that out. hahahaha.
Sors. The Carrera GT is totally different from the Carrera branch that is in production rite now.
The Engine for example, and the distinctive shape of the car gives it the best performance on track.
Its Porche’s Flagship so if you compare it to VW AG, it will be comparing to the Murcielargo or even Veyron.
4:15 Best entrance EVER by the hamster!
What episode is this?
what’s the song @ :11?
The R8 anyday! One of the best looking cars ever! Imagine if Audi put truboes on that, then Porsche would be in s**t!
thanks
i just bought the r8 last year bad ass car. best investment i have ever made in my life
4:32 Richard and his Beatle
:D:D
so i guess the Carrera GT sucks cuse it wait a minute, beats all those cars u just mentioned by more than miles.
shiets the same price in the US.
The E63 AMG wagon beat the R8 in a drug race!!
well the porsche is 15000€ (at least here in Germany) less expensive than the R8, that does not make it fair, there are plenty of slightly more expensive porsches to compare it with!
Porsche is for rich old cunts
its not a full on super car, this car is for ageing overweight executives.
they one day get to work in their A6 and see that their marketing manager has an S5 and the IT manager a TT and think “oh no, i have to get something better for authority’s sake”
so they go and get the even more expencive R8
if you realy want a corner hopping, tought and fast 2 seater V10, get a Gallardo…the R8 is just an audi
7:42 – the symphony of that Flat 6 and the V8 together.
This is when Top Gear was at its best – not over the top cinematography, and not drifting for show – a battle on the tarmac with mostly grip driving.
audi would have won… but it was half a mile.
The Audi has a better look but the Porsche sounds more powerful!
4:14 wicked shot!
He obviously does not like aboriginal art, Germans love this….
r8 is showy, flashy, bling. 911 has class and character!
