Should Audi be afraid of McLaren 570S?
McLaren built the 570S to go after the R8 and Porsche Turbo S market specifically. Every comparison test I have seen online calls the 570S the clear winner in this group.
What do you R8 owners think? Would you sell yours to move to McLaren?

Ok, just HOT Lapped on the(PBIR) Track a 570S.
My impressions vs Turbo S:
1. Entry/ exit, 570S not too tough, but definitely would be tough for a daily driver.
2.Cockpit, very nice, fairly good quality materials. Not as comfortable as the 911.
Footwell is very tight.
3. Comfort/Sport/Track select switches overly complicated. I am sure with practice like everthing, they work, but even the Driver/ instructors struggled with them.
4. Driving impression: On track turbo lag is very noticable compared to a TTS.
lauch out of corners is noticably slower that TTS, but once the 570 S spools up it is much faster then than a TTS. Lap times would be similar to a TTS though. 570S approx 1:28 vs my tuned TTS 1:23. 570S needs more tire!
Running on 225/285 Corso's 60 compound. Car can easily handle 245/305s.
5. Braking, CCB are very good, car stop excellent except under hard braking.
But,I went deep on back straight at 160mph, car was squirrelly.
I will wait and buy a used one
