How the Audi tunes the R8 to this slow pace with the facelift is really beyond me.

The R8 is the most exotic by far of the group. Outside of the look, it is superior to the 911 in many ways - much lighter unibody (100% aluminum since a decade ago, compared to still 30% steel with 992), mid engine layout which is more balanced, Quattro system (improved gen after gen, and is proven working so well with the Huracan), the glorious V10 (granted the new turbo s is a tad stronger with 650ps, but they're very close especially at top end).

Not that I'm trying to think the R8 is better than the 992tts because it's not. But M8? Gotta be kidding me. It's really confusing the M8 gets even close let alone be faster...
