I'm really surprised that the R8 also understeers like a truffle pig and sure wouldn't want that myself.

Like most German releases, I’d bet the numbers are all underrated at this point.

It is obviously you have not driven nor own a 2020 R8..:that would make you a simple bench racer. Go read more road and track ����

Well, it was you that told me it does.

Completely new. The C7 RS6 was a different platform/generation.
