These R/C Car Vs Audi R8 Drag Races Are Closer Than You Might Expect
Believe it or not, this 1/6 scale Audi R8 LMS will do 0-60mph in around the same time as the full-size road-going R8, making for some close short-distance drag races...
Yes, you really can get a radio control R8 that’s around as fast as the real thing. Well, up to about 60mph - after that this 1/6 scale Losi R8 LMS is all out of ideas. But still, that’s damn impressive, and it looks ludicrously fast in these fun drag races from the ladies and gents over at Autocar.
The R/C R8 is powered by a big 1200Kv brushless motor, and will set you back almost £1000. If you get one for Christmas, consider me very jealous…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I have a Traxxas rally car all wheel drive and it goes 0-60 in about 3ish seconds with the setup I have
The results were electrifying!
At least it costs less then the real deal
Imagine an R/C car with a tiny V10 engine :D

Wow, you can literally drive that little R8 in traffic! Like some have done…
That car costs like 3K USD
Duracell VTEC kicked in yo!
It seems like he cant handle the power (of the toy)
So quattro isn’t so grippy at all…
