Audi has gifted the returning RWD even more V10 goodness - is it enough to overcome the mighty GTS?
gearbox. In theory, this is the 911 for those that would like a GT3, but cannot get one because they weren't born in Bethlehem with three wise men delivering gold, frankincense, and your name on the list. I remember driving this particular manual car back-to-back with the yellow PDK Carrera 4 GTS we tested against the F-Type, and thought it was even better than its pricier sibling. It does rather suggest a floor-wiping against a carWell, not when it comes to the engine. Oh my.
The R8's gearbox is a seven-speed dual-clutch by default. So it's missing the extra dimension of a manual to delve into, but it hardly hinders the experience. In fact, I swear it's quicker, smoother and more responsive than I remember. Maybe not quite as good as the best and most recent multi-clutch transmissions when it comes to downshifting obediently, but it's so seamless and so fast in every other respect that the difference is hardly noticeable.
You may have heard people say that the R8's steering is unappealing, too. Well, on this point I beg to differ. This is the standard setup rather than the adaptive steering and, okay, it doesn't have as much sensation through the rim as the GTS - at least not in a straight line. You can feel bumps and cat's eyes and a bit of road graininess, but you can't count the grains like you can in the Porsche.
This doesn't mean it would set a quicker lap time; on track I have no doubt the 911 would be faster. It has more grip for a start. Yet on the road, where a little movement at lower limits is no bad thing, the R8's shortfall is arguably a plus. You don't have to work as hard to get the rear moving and when it does, it's predictable rather than spikey. You can begin the rotation with a lift on the way into a turn, then keep it going with a smidge more power on the exit.
