So Volkswagen added a bunch of strengthening beams, and Volkswagen added active engine mounts. Makes sense to me.

It’s a 997. That was BEFORE VW

[@adrianschuurmans]

and Audi streamlined the Fox

[@bofflethewaffle]

Porsche is a fair bit more independent from Volkswagen than Audi, though.

[@thevideolord]

@@bofflethewaffle This is true but mainly because the Porsche family own about half or more than half of the Volkswagen Auto Group, so they get a bit more freedom than the rest

[@Kwippy]

Why do people keep watching these old clips? Because there's more entertainment in 8 minutes here than in a whole series of new Top Gear. Also do you still get a blonde when you buy an Audi? Any model or just the R8?

[@taunokekkonen5733]

Just the R8, and only the V10 version.

[@montej]

What BMW is that in the beginning? It seems to be the size of a 3 series, but when this was released, the new 3 series was still a secret and the facelifted 3 series didnt have that shaped headlights. So is it a 5 series? length suggests no, since the new 5 series is basically the same length as the old 7. Any help here. I've looked at several side shots of many BMW's and can't figure this out?

People who hate on the R8 usually have never driven it. It is a demon, and it promises so much more than its looks would have you believe. Just watch out for the accelerator pedal, very thin accelerator pedal

I did a track day in Vegas and the instructor did a hot lap in a Porsche Macan first. That was an SUV not at all optimized for the track, and it was still one of the most thrilling experiences ever. Watching this woman experience a supercar on the track made me remember how awesome it was.

*5.2, but yeah you're right

Because it's turbo-charged.

Yeah it's turbocharged, but ultimately they make around about the same HP figures (500hp give or take), but the 911 has much more torque.
