Default 2008 Audi R8 vs. 2007 Porsche 911 Carrera S - Comparison Tests ...

THE VERDICT
The Audi R8 is a unique realization of the carmaker's art, with everything you'd expect in a 21st-century sports car. The Audi raises the bar in refinement, all-season practicality, and accessible performance. The 911, on the other hand, is an old brute groomed and tamed to a surprising level of sophistication. At least in this informal duel, the R8 appears to be the better sports car.<ul><li><a href="http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/12513/2008-audi-r8-vs-2007-porsche-911-carrera-s.html">http://www.caranddriver.com/comparisons/12513/2008-audi-r8-vs-2007-porsche-911-carrera-s.html</a</li></ul>

Default So Turbo > R8 > Carrera

Guess it would be interesting to see R8 vs GT3?

Default They should have been comparing it to the GT3 instead

They even admit as much.

given that the pricing works that way too, it's not surprising at all
