It’s not every day that you have the chance to see a test comparison between a sports coupe and a sedan. But when it comes to two Audi models, this comes as no surprise. GTBoard compared an MTM Audi RS6 and a Audi R8 V10 with the limiter removed from the ECU. The first of them, the RS6, was able to obtain 656 hp and 785 Nm of torque. With these numbers, the sprint from 0-60mph is made in 3.9 seconds while the top speed can be limited at 279, 290, or 310 km/h. As for the R8 V10, it develops a total of 525 HP, but with the limiter removed, it gets the same 560 HP as found in Lamborghini’s Gallardo and the Audi R8 GT. Which is the best? Who knows; life is full of surprises. Check out the video to see which reigned supreme. .
15 comments: Video: Audi R8 V10 vs MTM Audi RS6 I’m very interested to see if VAG/Porsche will allow VAG’s most profitable car maker (Audi) to imbue it’s most astonishing car (the R8) with this much power... I’m wagering not.
 Makes perfect sense to me. What a sweet ride to begin with...and adding this new engine is like throwing gas on a fire!
I don’t think Porsche cares about staying on top anymore. They only care about the "heritage" of the 911 brand and won’t let the Cayman (or any other superior production model platform) surpass it.Audi has been on a rampage lately. All of their cars are quite desirable (even the Q7!), however, I wonder if the R8s that have caught fire were running with this V10 engine?
