Audi R8 V8 Versus Porsche 911 Carrera 4S on the Track
Take a look at the Volkswagen Groups vast lineup of cars and you will be hard pressed to find two vehicles competing for the same buyers that are so different to each other.
On one side, you have the recently updated Audi R8, which sports a 424hp (430PS) 4.2-liter naturally breathing V8 engine positioned right behind the driver linked to an all-wheel drive system.
It’s rival from Stuttgart, continues the tradition of the Porsche 911 with a flat-six engine sitting on top of the rear axle, and which in the case of the all-wheel drive 4S, has a displacement of 3.8-liters and an output of 394hp (400PS).
British magazine Autoexpress brought the two rivaling sports car together to see which one is faster and better on a racing track. See what they came up with in the video after the break.

RS Racingteam Turns BMW M3 Into a Lightweight Track Racer
If you visit one of BMWs public websites here in the US, in Europe and other countries around the world, the only M3s available for order are Coupe and Convertible models as the Germans have ended production of the four-door sedan iteration.

However, as we learned today, theres still a way to get into a brand-new E90 M3 sedan via German aftermarket and motorsports outfit RS-Racingteam, which is offering new examples of the sports car.
Buyers have three options, including a regular model with performance enhancements for €80,000 (US$106,800 at the current exchange rates) and a thoroughbred racecar version for €110,000 (US$147,000), also available in street-legal form for an undisclosed price.
Depending on which program you choose, RS-Racingteam can bump the 4.0-liter V8s output from 414hp (420PS) to 444hp (450PS), strip out the interior and fit a full or partial roll-cage and bucket seats with six-point seat-belts, add 19-inch wheels with performance or racing tires, and a fully adjustable Brillstein suspension.
If you follow the race-spec path, the German tuner says the M3 is 190kg or close to 420 pounds lighter than the stock model.
