I love the R8 and I there will be a big gap if Audi decides to not build a successor. The thing that really held the R8 down where the VW team orders to kepp a gap to the Lamorghini Huracan. As a special edition R8, the RWS therefore could have been more f. e. with the 610 HP version of that faboulous V10, a more hardcore chassis and tire combination as well as some weight losses here and there (maybe another 50 kg.
Obviously the 991 911 GT3 needs no introduction. You just see that car and you know it means business. Especially in black / black that car looks faboulous. And there is even a MR kit for the -non RS- GT3. Future classics (both of them to be fair.

The problem is that you can buy an Audi R8, but the GT3 you cannot because dealers are ruining the Porsche Brand buy selling GT cars only to friends and/or I speculate to whom gives them a kickback. All GT cars are selling -used-with a few miles with large premiums over sticker. It should not be that way.
So I fell the comparison should be between cars you can actually buy. .

I've got one of these GT3's and I agreed with everything Dan said apart from the damping. It's good but not great. I drive on Norfolk B roads and it does get a bit choppy. I had a McLaren 540 and that suspension is much better than this Porsche. Comparing these two, I've driven the R8 and it's a bit soft and easy, the 911 gives much more feel and emotion.

I remember when Porsche used to actually charge less for their stripped down performance cars. The 964 Carrera RS and RS America were several thousand less than the standard Carrera. The 968 Clubsport was also less than the standard 968. I think they started charging more for their stripped down cars with the 996 series 911.

C8 ZO6 for its upcoming track car domination and Audi R8 RWS as my sport/luxury car. That is the ultimate combo for my garage. The GT3 is great but the Z will annihilate it for $100, 000 less so any desire for the GT3 I had now goes out the window.

and just like chords you can create a horrific song. No worries people! It's a hoax! It really is. There are nomal numbers showing lower than regular deaths because of hand washing. The invisable virus just can't hurt our christian folk!

How can they make one of the most interesting comparisons ever in the automotive world so boooooooring?
Now I know why people prefer anything over autocar. It's so damn boring, a dire need to change the casting is needed.

Eager to see what Audi do with the facelift, they-ve been spending quite a lot of time on the development, at least a good 9 months since the first spy pics were taken. Will be last opportunity to buy that fsi v10 in atmo spec

I recon the GT3 is best as many reviewers say, brilliant track-day car; but the main reason for me is the Porsches width, on UK roads I would drive. The Audi is as wide as a bus, like too many Supercar/Hypercars.

Mr.
It's all about taste these 2. You can't complain can you. I prefer the R8, it's style, engine and fact that you can use it everyday. The GT3 is to 'Racy' for everyday use. But then again, Porsche is fantastic.
