The second-generation R8 has been around since late 2015, making it the oldest high-performance Audi in the range. Nearly seven years ago, it was the fastest Audi model available. However, performance goalposts have moved since then.
The question now is this: how does the R8 fare against the current Audi RS models in a drag race? And what are the cars it needs to beat? Arranged according to size, it will race the RS 3 Sportback, RS 5 Sportback, RS 6 Avant, RS e-Tron GT, and the RS Q8.
