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.

Get that box off the bonnet!!!!
Well, technically the boot.
My RC car goes 45mph in less than 3seconds
what RC do you have?
Pretty unsurprising. It’s all about power to weight in this case. RC cars are plenty light and if paired with a good motor can easily beat a car to 60. Still cool to see, though.

It doesn’t matter because I still can’t afford that RC car.
Top gear physics says the little car is storming ahead at 6x the speed
