New Audi RS6 GT v R8 GT: DRAG RACE
Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-2010 It’s time for an epic Audi showdown! We’ve got Mat in the Audi R8 GT, and he’s about to go head-to-head against an Audi RS6 GT! The question is, which of these extreme Audis will come out on top? Well, let’s check out the stats. Starting with the RS6, it’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that delivers 630hp and 850Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and the car weighs in at 2,075kg. As new, the RS6 GT had a price tag of £177,000. Then we come to the R8. It’s packing a 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that can produce 620hp and 565Nm. This power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,570kg. It’s a bit more expensive than the RS6, costing around £200,000. So they both produce similar power, but while the RS6 may have four-wheel drive, it’s half a tonne heavier than the R8! Will this prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Porsche 911 S/T Track Test – The Perfect 911?
The perfect Porsche 911 doesn’t exist, right? And even if it did, how do you pick from the ever-increasing list of great rear-engined Porsches? Are you a fan of the OG 2.7 RS? Or on the side of the 997-generation GT3 RS 4.0? What about the 911 R? That’s leaving aside all the race cars, too. And then there’s this, the 911 S/T. Built by Porsche (in limited numbers) to celebrate its 60th birthday, it mixes GT3 RS oily bits with GT3 Touring discreetness to give us, effectively, a successor to the 911 R. We already love it after driving it on the road (which is where it was designed to be) but can it stand up to being thrashed on track? And if so, where does that leave it standing in the pantheon of Porsche greatness.

FIRST LOOK: Tuthill GT ONE – Road Legal '90s Le Mans Car!
The Tuthill GT One is a sensational street legal tribute to 1990s Le Mans racing, and only 22 of these all-carbon GT1 homages will be built. Cooler than a GT1 Strassenversion? Possibly. It’s street legal, and for what’s almost certainly a seven-figure sum, you can have one of the few examples that Tuthill plans to make. But there are a couple of critical options you must choose between – namely, do you want a seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox, or a six-speed manual? A 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six related to the 911K’s screaming engine that develops around 500bhp? Or a twin-turbo version that kicks out more than 600bhp? Tuthill says the GT One was born out of a chat between company boss Richard Tuthill and one of his clients, Elliot Ross. What would a modern-day GT1 car look and drive like? Can it still be pretty while incorporating FIA-spec crash-worthiness and road legal measures? Apparently so. Very much so. Over to TG's Deputy Editor Ollie Kew, who spoke to company boss Richard Tuthill at The Quail Car Show in America….
