was discussing this with a friend, which would you choose & why?

they are the same money, both good drivers cars (one being more so imo). the argument im hearing is that the 911 isn't special enough (not a bespoke model in the range), mid engine weight transfer is more desirable, rear biased awd on R8 has "perfect" balance , better interior, looks etc. some of these points you can readily argue, some though...

assumption is near dd (weather permitting)





vs

 

Assuming we're talking r8 V8...

RS.1 And it ain't even close.

Black/Black
Black/Green
White/Black
Green/Black
Orange/Black
Silver/Orange in that order.

 

I would take h20skier's white RS without question. From what Mark tells me it's the perfect DD and I love how it looks.

 

GT3 rs.

 

v8 R8 is not even on option. if you consider the v10 then its a tough decision. i still would take the RS though

 

Having driven neither, I would always choose the RS.

 

rrrsss

 

After driving both, RS without a doubt. Feels much safer going fast IMO.

 

I think the roads in Denmark are great and both cars will be fun and easy to drive around… unless your talking Copenhagen then I think the R8 would be a more comfortable on all the granite roads you have there

I voted RS just because if I was driving from Copenhagen to Skagen I would take a few country road and have the biggest smile on my face, except when going on/off the ferries (and I am not talking about Jox here)

 

R8 for everyday use
RS if you want a "race" car...
