Which is faster, GTR or R8?
If we are talking about performance, the Nissan GT-R is faster but the Audi R8 is more practical. It’s called the poor man’s supercar for good reason. The GT-R may not be as comfortable and lacks flashy tech, but it’s also quite a fast car. The impeccably styled Audi R8 made its US debut in the fall of 2007 as a mid-engine supercar combining performance and everyday drivability. It remains as an Audi through and through, retaining the hallmark quattro all-wheel drive system and its Aluminum Space Frame construction.What’s New for 2023? This year marks the end of production for the current-generation R8. Audi is sending off the supercar with a limited edition GT model, which is offered exclusively with rear-wheel drive and a 602-hp version of the car’s V-10 engine.That’s right, the R8 has been discontinued and its assembly line has been modified to produce the e-tron GT! Thus you can call this the R8 successor as it is Audi’s flagship car now!This Audi R8 ABT XGT is an extremely rare, road-legal evolution of the R8 LMS GT2 race car. Just 99 examples are planned, though only around 42 are expected to be completed, making this a truly scarce modern supercar.
