Audi R8 v RS6

Audi claims identical acceleration times for the RS6 Avant and R8, but which is really the fastest?

We’re here to answer a simple question: which is the fastest Audi on sale today, this five-seat, two-ton estate running on a surfeit of steroids, or the scalpel-sharp, mid-engined sports car that is the R8? Audi claims that they post identical 0-62mph and 0-124mph times, namely 4.6sec and 14.9sec respectively, but is this really the case? And are the two cars just as closely matched in all the other performance disciplines? That’s what we want to find out.

In the new best motoring( 2008/10) they put the R8 and the RS6 in fuji speedway for some time attack, it was on wet, and the driver was Motoharu Kurosawa....The RS6 did it in 2.10.60 sec, and the R8 in 2.11.24 sec.......that is pretty shocking
