Putting an Audi R8 5.2 FSI with 518hp against the 239hp FN2 Mugen Honda Civic Type R into review over a typical European country road, Autocar UK did the review right and sensible. Putting both cars into Malaysia road to test, I can’t imagine for now.

Do you think the Hatch FN2 Civic Type R Mugen able to keep up with the mid-engine V10 monster through the twists and down the straights? Do find out yourself with no surprise although I am one of the proud owners of Civic Type R. Check out the video, is cool!

Audi has revealed the R8 GT. The most extreme version of its four-wheel-drive supercar yet from Ingolstadt will be produced in a exclusive limited to 333 units. The Audi R8 GT cost $255,000 (€193,000) per unit.

The car is design and built on R8 V10 Coupe with weight reduction. The Audi engineers have managed to cut 100kg of weight of R8 by changing rear spoiler and by substitution of rear hatch, rear spoiler and side blades with lightweight elements made by reinforced plastic with carbon fibre. As results, the total weight of the Audi R8 GT left 1,525kg.

The exterior changes are worthy of a performance version of a sports model and include a front grille colour matte black, a carbon fibre rear splitter mounted under the bumper, side blades which receive the same treatment matte black and 19-inch wheels in exclusive five twin-spoke Y design in a titanium-look finish with tyres size of 235/35 front and 295/30 on the back.

Comparing the R8 GT and conventional R8, the engine is special. While talking about the same V10 5.2-liter engine available with Quattro traction, the German engineering have modified the central unit parameters to go from 525 to 560 HP, the torque of R8 GT now reaching at 398 lb-ft/6500 rpm. In these conditions, the R8 GT reaches from 0-100 km/h in 3.6 seconds and the maximum speed is 320km/h.

While Tony Stark in Iron Man 2 drives a Audi R8 Spyder, we get to see a real Audi R8 V10 closely in Malaysia. The Audi R8 V10 is previously displayed in the Audi Showroom right at the corner of Jalan Imbi has shifted to the entrance of Pavilion KL.

Audi R8 can be distinguish easily on the road when you see the headlights day LED on. Although most of the time you would see it’s from the new A4.

The Audi R8 V10 we are looking here it’s 5.2 liter 10-cylinder which is able to produce 525bhp at 8000 rpm and a maximum 530Nm of torque at 6500 rpm with a 6-speed R-tronic – this angry beast  can reach 0-100 in 3.9 seconds. That’s quicker than you trying to read the above sentence.

Don’t think this automatic version of Audi R8 it’s slow when it comes to pickup. This beast here is also equipped with “Launch Control”.  The launch control functions as when you would want to the car to pick up in the fastest manner.
