Audi R8 V10 GT RWD – Drift
Does this mean that drifting is more difficult in the R8 Coupé V10 GT RWD?
Roland Waschkau: Let’s put it this way: the challenges of drifting in the R8 Coupé V10 GT RWD are completely different. Although the sportscar’s rear-wheel drive makes it easier to oversteer, its mid-engine concept makes it more challenging to hold the drift because it rotates faster. It requires the driver’s full attention to control the drift. Important: you can’t use the accelerator too much and you have to steer with feel.
Meic Diessner: In contrast to the R8 Coupé V10 GT RWD, the front wheels of the RS 3 performance edition are always driven. This means that you first have to create slip on the front axle for the vehicle to rotate at all. This can be done by accelerating more. In direct comparison with the R8 Coupé V10 GT RWD, is more difficult to induce oversteer in the RS 3 performance edition and position the car, but easier to hold the drift.
What was the purpose of the drift modes?
Meic Diessner: Quite simple: to have fun! Although the initial intention for the RS torque splitter was not the drift mode. The major advantage of the system is increased agility and less understeer during dynamic cornering. Moreover, it gives the vehicle more stability, especially in wet conditions. RS Torque Rear mode is basically a nice addition.
Roland Waschkau: That also applies to the R8 Coupé V10 GT RWD. Basically, the different vehicle segments alone create different premises for positioning the models: the RS 3 performance edition is the entry to the world of Audi Sport, while the R8 Coupé V10 GT RWD is the top model – a compact sports car suitable for everyday use on the one hand, and a high-performance sports car on the other. What both have in common is dynamics and driving enjoyment at the highest level.
