Re: Auto Motor Und Sport: Audi R8 vs Ferrari F430

Its pretty interesting to see these cars back to back. Of course the F-430 would be my choice however if the R8 had a more powerful engine i might change myu mind but the Ferrari is RWD, which is another bonus when it comes to fun.

Re: Auto Motor Und Sport: Audi R8 vs Ferrari F430

feels like a quick comparison, no other numbers than 0-100 (and probably factory times). o-160 and 0-200km/h would be fun to know

Re: Auto Motor Und Sport: Audi R8 vs Ferrari F430

I didn't see the F430 as its main competitor but now it doesn't seem too far off.

If offered the choice between the two vehicles i would also take the F430, however having that i would rather have the R8 and i prefer it's exterior.

just what i expected: The ferrari has all the fun, see it has better performance numbers, but the Audi has better "ride quality" since it has better traction, grip and handling.

Perfect match. German high performance engineering vs italian high-performance engineering
