Re: Stock Corvette C5 Convertible vs Audi A8 4.2 race in German streets and Autobahn
The one in the video is the base Audi A8 $75k-80,000 version with the
4.2 Liter V8 engine.
That same Audi actually is available with a 6.0 Liter 12 Cylinder W12
Engine
But even that engine is no match for the upcoming engine for Audi's new
supercar which is an 8.0 Liter 16 Cylinder W16 engine. That thing is a
monster.
You should check out the Audi S8 which has basically the same V10
engine as the Lamborghini Gallardo. The Audi R10 takes it to an even
higher level with a V10 Engine with Twin Turbos.
The Audi W16 with an 8.0 Liter 16 Cylinder Engine is such an insane
supercar that only the Bugatti Veyron and the Barabus TKR are equal or
better.
The most incredible thing about many of these engines is that there's
still tons of room for improvements via mods as they don't even have an
turbos or superchargers in in them.
Now these audis with the excpetion of the R8 and W16 aren't quarter
mile monsters, but all of them will go EXTREMELY EXTREMLY fast when you
remove the governor.
Even the Slower V8 Audis with the governor removed are made more for
crusing at 170-200MPH on Europes extremely long straightaways rather
than drag racing.
I'm sorry to say, but that Audi that was outrunning the C5 Corvette on
the Autobahn was a "Grandfather's Audi".

But it's still a comparison between two entirely different car concepts.
Apples and oranges.
