I feel really bad for the Ford Capri Turbo in this video [shot on 101019, or October 10th if you must]. It’s being challenged at LeMans Circuit de La Sarthe in France by a real beast of a coupe — the vaunted Audi R8 Coupe V10 Plus 5.2 quattro. (Whew! That’s a mouthful, cool kids!) The R8 you see here has been tweaked to 549 horsepower (422 Kw, or 557 ps) thanks to a sport-spec air filter fitted to the 318 cubic inch V10. YIKES!!! The quattro all wheel drive system makes the package even more menacing.
The track isn’t safe anymore….or is it?
Audi(TM). Truth in engineering.
