Hi, have you ever wondered how fast modern supercars are compared to regular cars?

Take, for example, the new Audi R8

which has a naturally aspirated 5.2 engine with 610 HP and an all-wheel drive

How does this car compare to regular cars and more sportive ones?

At first, let's compare it with something with a lower price and power

We're driving Dacia Sandero with a naturally aspirated 3-cylinder 1.0 engine with 75 HP

How do you think, how much R8 will have on the counter, when Dacia has 120 km/h?

Well, Audi R8 will reach 272 km/h!

Sandero is one of the slowest cars on the market

so we get on something faster: Renault Twingo GT

This small city car has a 3-cylinder 0.9 engine, but this time with a turbo, which generates 110 HP

Moreover, it has a rear-wheel drive, the engine at the rear and weighs only 1008 kg

How do you think what speed will reach R8, when Twingo GT reaches 130 km/h?

Audi R8 will be almost twice as fast and it will run 254 km/h!

Now we are jumping into the new Opel Insignia Grand Sport

with a 165 HP 1.5 turbo engine

How do you think how much R8 will have on the counter when Insignia reaches 140 km/h?

Audi R8 will reach 256 km/h!

We go one step further, this time something more sporty

the new Mazda MX-5 with a naturally aspirated 2.0 engine with 160 HP

Here, as in Twingo GT, we also have a rear-wheel drive and a low mass of 1 000 kg

The difference is in the locatiion of the engine that is in front

How do you think, how much R8 will have on the counter when Mazda reaches 150 km/h?

Audi R8 will reach 237 km/h!

The next step is the fastest car with a front-wheel drive

Honda Civic Type R with a 2.0 turbo engine with 320 HP

A really fast car

How do you think how much R8 will have on the counter when Civic Type R reaches 160 km/h?

Audi R8 will then run 235 km/h

The next car is the new Ford Mustang with a naturally aspirated 5.0 V8 engine with 421 HP

A rear-wheel drive, engine at the front and automatic transmission

A very, very fast car

How do you think how much R8 will have when Mustang reaches 180 km/h?

The Audi R8 will then have 228 km/h

As you can see today's super cars are incredibly fast

According to my test, Audi R8 reaches the first hundred in 3.3 seconds

200 km/h appears after 9.9 s

To overcome the barrier of 250 km/h R8 needs another 6.5 seconds which gives us 16.4 s

and 30.3 seconds to reach 300 km/h

From 0 to 300 in 30 seconds! !

An incredible result, and remember that R8 is not the fastest car in the world,

there are a lot of them that are even faster!

Amazing!

To finish, a curiosity, a battle between Audi R8 and Fiat Uno!

Of course, this is not just a Fiat Uno, but Uno with a 2.0 turbo engine taken directly from the Marea model

In addition, the car has a number of modifications, hence it speeds up like crazy

Despite the power of 286 HP and the weight of one ton, at 200 km/h Audi R8 already has 243 km/h

I forgot to add that

Audi R8 costs more than all the cars mentioned taken together

because they cost a total of 626 200 PLN

and Audi a minimum of 822 500 PLN

which is over 208 000 PLN more

Thanks for watching, bye!
