What happens when you pit a mid engine C8 Corvette Stingray V8 against a mid engine Audi R8 V10 and a rear engine Porsche 911 twin turbo flat 6? A fun drag race. The R8 is a Rear Wheel Series one so obviously it's rear wheel drive as are the Corvette and 911. So will American brawn take out the Germans? You may or may not be surprised. Either way, it'll be fun. Watch the video below.

N24 winner set to inspire a sharper, more driver focussed - and RWD - V10 supercar
Anyone fancy a rear-drive R8 that takes its cue from Audi Sport's GT3 race car? Because fingers crossed that's exactly what the manufacturer's performance division boss, Oliver Hoffman, is cooking up. Buoyed by the success of the rear-drive RWS and acknowledging that Audi Sport lacks an equivalent to Porsche's GT models and AMG's soon-to-return Black Series, Hoffman sai...

The R8 V10 RWS is already a rare breed with only 999 produced with 320 of them coming to the States. If you want even more exclusivity, feast your eyes on this Audi exclusive Riviera Blue...1 of 1.
While cruising through my Facebook feed, a flash of blue caught my eye. Our friend, Phil Braun, posted this beauty. Phil is the Audi Sport Specialist at Walter's Audi in Riverside, CA. I asked if he could send me more photos and that's when J...

Motor Trend is reporting that Audi of America announced the starting price for the R8 RWS...a stunning $139, 950 including destination. That's a massive $26,000 less than a 'base' R8 V10 Coupe and humongous $55,000 off a R8 V10 plus. I'm running out of 'big' words to describe the price difference.
At such a bargain price, these will probably fly off the dealership floors but if you want one, you'd better hurry. Audi Sport is building 999 examples...

The night before the New York International Auto Show, Scott Keogh, Audi of America president, and Michael-Julius Renz, CEO of Audi Sport, introduced two new models, the R8 V10 RWS and the RS 5 Sportback.
We broadcasted their speeches live on the Audi Club North America Facebook page but in case you missed it (and admittedly the video was a little shaky), Audi has released their speeches and also footage of the RS 5 Sportback going through ...
