When I watched this, I was more than a little surprised that the Raging Bull gets its ass repeatedly handed to it. What’s the deal here? Every incarnation of the Gallardo has had over 500 horsepower, and the Audi “only” has 525. So why the hell is this such a lopsided match up? Maybe the Audi has a ton of mods? Maybe the Lambo driver just sucks?

Audi R8 V10 vs. Lamborghini Gallardo

My Dad grew up Irish in Italian-dominated South Philly, and he used to joke that his hyper-expressive Italian buddies wouldn’t be able to talk with their hands cuffed, because they seemed to need 15 distinct gestures to say anything. Anyway, provided there aren’t any weapons in the vicinity, I don’t think there are many things funnier than a pissed off Italian. So I loved this clip of an R8 rolling through Ferrari’s home turf.  And even though I don’t actually think Audi’s halo car looks so hot in red—Enzo’s Cavellinos have a lock on rosso—it makes sense for this spot. Enjoy.
