The 911-R8 war has gone down a bit, but by no means has it been forgotten. These two cars have it in their blood to go up against each other.
Today, e have a fresh battle between the R8 with the right engine and the wrong gearbox against a the wrong Porsche with the wright engine mods.

To be more precise, it's a short rolling start clip of the R8 V10 R tronic and a Porsche 997 GT3 3.8 with Cargraphic straight exhaust pipes.

Despite having the weight advantage, the Porsche's small boxer engine doesn't have the legs it needs to to keep up with the powerful V10 engine, which has over 500 horsepower.
