So, on to the race! In the online video we see the cars line up on a gorgeous road. The cars are set off by a simple hand fall, and the RS e-tron GT grabs an early guide and opens up a gap on the R8 which sooner or later stretches to two car lengths. In accordance to the stats, the RS e-tron GT managed a -sixty two mph sprint of only 2.eighty five seconds, beating the R8’s time of 2.ninety five seconds. The -124 mph sprint took the electric car 9.91 seconds and the R8 10.20 seconds. The RS E-Tron GT decimated the quarter-mile in only 10.sixty nine seconds (on an unprepared road), even though the R8 crossed the line in 10.ninety five seconds.
The numbers and online video speak for them selves, as electrical energy has beaten gasoline however once more in all parts other than sound. It really is however a different sad day for gearheads all over the place.
