| This FWD Audi TT-RS is quicker* than a GT3-spec V10 R8
*quicker in the rain, that is.
Yes you read right, FRONT-wheel drive. Pretty damn impressive, if I must say so myself. This Is Audi's Insane Front-Wheel Drive TT-RS Racecar  Quote:
But surely the 5.2 liter, V10, damn near 600 hp, full GT3 spec, R8 LMS Ultra will crush this puny little 5 banger, front wheel drive, hairdressers car. Right?
Wrong.
This is where the shock and awe part comes in. The TT-RS is six seconds a lap slower, which sounds like a lot. It isn't.
That's because that six second disparity comes over the course of the 15.2 mile combined circuit at the Nurburgring that they use for all VLN races and the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. Six seconds is damn impressive. Ok, now you're starting to get the shock and awe thing aren't you?

While the TT comes close to matching the the R8's pace in the dry it is actually quicker than it's big brother in wet conditions. Amazingly, the FWD platform gives the driver more directional control and stability. In fact the TT RS is so good that it is the only FWD car in history to sit on pole AND the top step of the podium at a VLN race.
